No, they are different types of wave. Transverse waves vibrate across the direction of motion, like the waves you get when you shake a rope. Longitudinal waves vibrate back and forth along the direction of motion like a sound wave.

Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
Is a radio wave longitudinal?
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
Sound is example of what wave?
sound is an example of a light wave.
Describe two major differences between transverse and longitudinal waves give a practical example of each?
In a transverse wave, the direction of the propagation of the wave is perpendicular tothe direction of the vibration of the source whereas in a longitudinal wave, they both are parallel to each other. A longitudinal wave requires a medium to propagate but a transverse wave requires no medium to travel. Sound is a longitudinal wave and all EM radiation are transverse waves.

Are satellites a Transverse or longitudinal wave?
Transverse :)
Is the stadium wave at right a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Its a transverse wave.
What is the difference transverse waves and longitudinal?
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
Who transverse waves are different from longitudinal waves?
A longitudinal wave is a "side-on" waveform. A transverse Wave is a "end-on" waveform.
