Answer 1

if the vibration of a particle of medium conveying a wave perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave know as transverse wave
if the vibration of aparticle of the medium conveying a wave parallel to the direction of propagation of wave know as longitudinal wave

Answer 2

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪transverse waves are those in which crest and trough are formed and they are formed in only in those media which possess rigidity and that is why they can travel only in solids and on surface of liquids.☆☆ example. sound waves in air
