Question

what are transverse and longitudinal waves​

Answer 1

Answer:

The waves which travel in side by side motion are known as transverse waves

and the waves which travel in up and down motion are known as longitudinal waves

Answer 2

A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction in which the wave is moving, is called a longitudinal wave .

Longitudinal waves can be produced in all the three mediums : solid, liquid and gas.

A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate up and down at the right angle to the direction in which the wave is moving, is called a transverse wave

Transverse waves can be produced only in solid and liquid but not in gas .
