Heat waves are a form of
electromagnetic waves, and as such, they are
transverse in nature. This means that the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields in a heat wave occur perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. Heat waves are a type of infrared radiation, which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that also includes visible light, X-rays, and radio waves, all of which are transverse waves.

Transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate at right angles to the direction of propagation of the wave. ... other examples of
transverse waves are electromagnetic
waves such as light
waves,
heat waves, X-rays, gamma- rays and radio
waves.
