EM waves are all transverse.

They travel at the same speed in a vacuum (empty space in space where there is no air).

The order of the EM waves in order from highest frequency are:

Gamma Rays

X-Rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio Waves

There are many problems and uses of each EM Wave. When the frequency increases so does the energy. As a result the dangers increase.
