Answer 1

Difference Between Longitudinal and Transverse Wave-;

Longitudinal

____________

• The medium moves in the same direction of the wave.

•It acts in one dimension.

• The wave cannot be polarized or aligned.

• This wave can be produced in any medium such as gas, liquid or solid.

• The earthquake P wave is an example

Transverse

___________

• The medium is moving perpendicular to the direction of wave

• It acts in two dimension.

• The wave can be polarized or aligned.

• This wave can be produced in solid and liquid’s surface.

• Earthquake S wave is an example.
