What is the primary difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

• Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel.

• Transverse waves require a medium, while longitudinal waves do not.

• Transverse waves have higher frequencies than longitudinal waves.

• Transverse waves can travel through a vacuum, while longitudinal waves cannot.

Which of the following is an example of a longitudinal wave?

• Light wave

• Sound wave

• Radio wave

• Microwave

What is the formula for the speed of a wave?
