Both waves have some common features.
Explanation:
Following features are similar in longitudinal and transverse waves:
Both waves are mechanical waves.
Both transport energy without transporting matter.
Particles oscillate about their mean position in both waves.
These waves satisfy the formula:
v
=
f
λ
DIFFERENCES: Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.
