What is a transverse wave?

• A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
• A transverse wave is a wave that only occurs in a vacuum.
• A transverse wave is a wave that does not involve any oscillation.

what is a Longitudinal waves?

• Longitudinal waves are waves that travel through a vacuum.
• Longitudinal waves are waves in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
• Longitudinal waves are waves that only occur in solids.
• Longitudinal waves are waves in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.
