Since they vibrate energy in a direction perpendicular to the wave's travel direction, all electromagnetic waves, including light, are transverse waves. Since there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave in a gas or a liquid, transverse waves cannot propagate.
