Transverse Wave

1 - It is a wave in which particle of the medium oscillates Up and Down about it mean position

2 - The direction of propagation of transverse wave is perpendicular to the displacement of the particles in a medium.

3 - Example - Light wave , Water wave etc...

Longitudinal Wave

1 - It is a wave in which particle of the medium oscillates Back and Forth about its mean position.

2 - Its direction of propagation is parallel or along the displacemnet of the particles.

3 - Example - Sound wave , Pressure waves etc..
