Hi.
Here is the answer---
_________________
(i) Propagation of Transverse Waves -)
In this the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the medium particles, forming crests and troughs, the waves is called as the transverse waves.
Example--- Sound Waves on the solid and the surface of the liquid.
Transverse waves are formed only in those media which posses rigidity and that is why they can travel only in solids and the surface of the liquids.
(ii) Propagation of Longitudinal Waves -)
If the Vibrations of medium particles are along direction of propagation of the wave, thus forming compression and and Refractions in the medium, the wave is called a Longitudinal Waves.
Example---Sound waves in air, solid, liquids and gases.

What is Wavelength and Frequency?
Wavelength ---
The Distance between the two successive Crests and Troughs is called as Wavelength. It is denoted by the symbol Lambda(λ)
Frequency ---
The number of Vibrations by the made by the Particle of the medium is called as Frequency.It is denoted by the symbol f.
