Question

Explain about longitudinal & transverse waves.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of propagation of the wave.

Transverse wave is a wave that vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation. A simple example is given by the waves that can be created on a horizontal length of string by anchoring one end and moving the other end up and down.
