Answer:

Difference Between Longitudnal waves and Transverse waves

A wave is a disturbance that propagates energy from one place to another without transporting any matter. The general example would be a stone hitting the surface of the water and creating ripples that travel in a shape of concentric circles with its radius increasing until they strike the boundary of the pond. There are various types of waves and the two of those would be longitudinal and transverse waves.

In a longitudinal wave, the medium or the channel moves in the same direction with respect to the wave. Here, the movement of the particles is from left to right and force other particles to vibrate.

In a transverse wave will the medium or the channel moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Here, the particles move up and down as the waves move horizontally.

Difference Between Longitudinal and Transverse Wave

Difference Between Longitudinal and Transverse Wave

Longitudinal Transverse

The medium moves in the same direction of the wave The medium is moving perpendicular to the direction of wave

It acts in one dimension It acts in two dimension

The wave cannot be polarized or aligned The wave can be polarized or aligned

This wave can be produced in any medium such as gas, liquid or solid This wave can be produced in solid and liquid’s surface

The earthquake P wave is an example Earthquake S wave is an example

It is made of rarefactions and compressions It is made of troughs and crests
