Select: transverse, electromagnetic.
Ultraviolet light is an electromagnetic wave (so it’s electromagnetic) and its electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to the direction of travel (transverse). It is not a longitudinal wave, not sound (sound is a mechanical longitudinal wave), and “heat” is not a wave type.
