This document discusses transverse and longitudinal waves. A transverse wave is one where the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation, such as light waves or water ripples. A longitudinal wave is one where particles vibrate parallel to propagation, like sound waves. The key difference between the two types of waves is whether the particles vibrate perpendicular or parallel to the direction the wave travels.

3. DEFFINITIONS
Transverse wave: A Transverse wave is
a wave in which the particle of
medium vibrate perpendicular to the
direction of propagation

4. Longitudinal wave: A Longitudinal
wave is a wave in which the particle of
medium vibrate in a direction parallel
to the direction of propagation

7. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRANSEVESE
AND LONGITUDINAL WAVE
Transverse wave
particle vibrating
perpendicular to the wave
propagation
Ex. Light wave, ripples in
water etc…
Longitudinal wave
particle vibrating parallel to
the wave propagation
Ex. Sound wave
