Question

Write 2 differences between transberse wave and longitudinal wave .

Answer 1

transverse waves are the waves which propagates in a direction perpendicular to the direction of vibration of particles of the medium.
eg: electromagnetic waves, radio waves.
longitudinal waves are the waves which propagates along the direction of vibration of particles of the medium.
eg:sound waves.

Answer 2

LONGITUDINAL WAVE:
the vibrations of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.
the waves propagates in the form of compressions and rarefaction.
TRANSVERSE WAVE:
the wave propagates in a direction perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particle.
the wave propagates in the form of crests and troughs.
