Question

Difference between transverse amd longitudinal waves

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The longitude wave are those waves in which particles of the median move in the parallel to the waves.

Transverse waves are always characterised by the particle motion being perpendicular to the wave
