In a longitudinal wave, the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave . This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. Sound waves are longitudinal waves. A transverse wave is a wave in which the motion of the medium...

A transverse wave is a wave in which the motion of the medium is a right angles to the direction of the wave. A wave on a rope is a transverse wave. Light and other electromagnetic waves are also transverse waves. read less

In a longitudinal wave, the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave. Ex: Sound wave. A transverse wave is a wave in which the motion of the medium is at right angles to the direction of the wave. Ex: Light and other electromagnetic waves.

Waves can be classified into two types: transverse and longitudinal. Waves that travel in the direction perpendicular to the direction of vibration are called transverse waves. Examples of transverse waves include, rope waves, water waves and radio waves. Waves that travel in the direction...

Waves can be classified into two types: transverse and longitudinal. Waves that travel in the direction perpendicular to the direction of vibration are called transverse waves. Examples of transverse waves include, rope waves, water waves and radio waves. Waves that travel in the direction parallel to the direction of vibration are called longitudinal waves. Sound waves are a good example of longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves the particles travel along the same line as the direction of the wave motion. read less

If displacement of the medium or field is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave it is called transverse wave. If displacement of the medium or field is in the direction of propagation of the wave it is called longitudinal wave.

Transverse waves travel well in solids, but not in fluids like liquid or gas. Longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic P waves. They travel through all states of matter because their medium particles move parallel to the direction of the wave.

For transverse waves the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. In longitudinal waves the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of the wave.
