Answer 2

TRANSVERSE WAVES:-

1.the particles of medium oscillates perpendicular to the direction of propogation of wave

2they propogate through crests and troughs

3.they can propogate on solids and on liquid surfaces only

LONGITUDINAL WAVES:-

1.particles of medium oscillates along the direction of the propogation of the waves

2.they propogate through compression and rarefactions

3.these waves can propogate through all 3 states of matter.
