Question

Difference between transverse and longitudinal waves class 9 ppt

Answer 1

longitudinal wave
waves in which oscillations take place along the direction of propagation of wave e.g.sound
transverse wave
waves in which oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave e.g.EM

Answer 2

In longitudinal wave the wave compression and rarefaction is in the direction of traveling. For example sound waves
In transverse wave the electric and magnetic fields are propagating perpendicular to each other and its propagation is perpendicular to its traveling direction. for example electromagnetic waves like visible light etc
