Longitudinal waves: Longitudinal waves are signals in which the medium is moved in the similar direction as, or in the opposite way to, the wave's propagation path.

Transverse waves:- A transverse wave is a traveling wave, with oscillations perpendicular to the wave direction. eg Ripples to the water level. Vibrations in string guitar.
