3. DEFFINITION
Transverse wave: A Transverse wave is a wave
in which the particle of medium vibrate
perpendicular to the direction of propagation
Longitudinal wave: A Longitudinal wave is a
wave in which the particle of medium vibrate
in a direction parallel to the direction of
propagation
5. 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
