Transverse Waves: Displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. ... Longitudinal Waves: Displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A wave is a disturbance which moves away from what created it and changes the thing that it travels on like the surface of the ocean or the air. This is caused by the transfer of energy that disturbs its medium or channel. There are several types of waves, and two of them are longitudinal and transverse waves.

A longitudinal wave is a wave wherein the movement of the channel or medium is in the same direction as the wave. This causes particles to move left and right inducing other particles to oscillate or vibrate. The primary wave or P-wave in an earthquake is an example of a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are also longitudinal waves. Air molecules move forward and backward, and when they are compressed, they are forced to move apart producing a vacuum or what is called a rarefaction.

A longitudinal wave acts in only one dimension so it does not have a plane nor can it be polarized or aligned. It can be produced in solids, liquids, or gases unlike a transverse wave which can only be produced in solids and the surface of liquids.

____________________________________________________________________
longitudinal wave : 
a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
⇒  Here the Displacement of the Medium is Parallel to the Propagation of the Wave.
⇒ Sound waves are the Best Example
⇒ The Particle will moves with an Angle 0 Degree in the Direction of the Wave
⇒ They are also known as Compression Waves due to their Pulling and Pushing they do.⇒ Longitudinal Waves cannot be Polarised
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
transverse wave:
⇒ Here the Displacement of the Medium is Perpendicular to the
Propagation of the Wave
⇒ Light and some Electromagnetic Waves are the Best Examples
⇒ The Particles will move with an Angle 90 degree with the Direction of the Wave
 The another types of  Transverse Wave is S wave which Occurs at the Earth Quake
⇒ Transverse Waves can be Polarised
