define a Transverse wave

• The oscillations is PARALLEL to the direction of the travel of the oscillation

• The oscillations is PARALLEL to the direction of the travel of the wave

• The oscillations is PERPENDICULAR to the direction of the travel of the oscillation

• The oscillations is PERPENDICULAR to the direction of the travel of the wave

define a Longitudinal wave
