State 2 differences between transverse waves and longitudinal waves?

First and foremost is that rigidity is essential for transverse waves to travel through the medium.
But in longitudinal it is not essential. So transverse waves cannot be propagated through gasses.
Second, the vibrations of particles of the medium will be perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Whereas in the case of longitudinal waves, the vibrations are in the same direction as that of the wave propagation.

Which parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?
Well the wavelength is the distance between succesive crests, or troughs on a transverse wave is the distance between consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a longitudinal wave. the frequency can is the time between consecutive crest on a transverse wave and the time between consecutive rarefactions or compressions on a longitudinal wave. the amplitude on a transverse wave is the distance between a crest and the zero value of the wave, not till the trough. on a longitudinal wave the amplitidue is measured by the strength of the rarefactions or compressions as compared to the natural state of the propagation medium. so for a longidudinal wave travelling throught the air; if the compression pressure is 4 bar the amplitude would be greater than if the compression pressure was 3 bar, because the air's natural pressure is 1 bar. in reality things like sound waves have much less compression pressure.
State two differences between a transmission designedfor transverse front wheel drive vehicle compared to a rear wheel drive front engine vehicle?
A rear wheel drive vehicle transmission has everything in a straight line . A Transverse mounted transmission has the gears made after the torque convertor at a 90 degree angle. (L shaped)
What are the differences between a state and a colony?
a state is huge where as a colony is small
What are the differences between a continent and a state?
A Continent is huge and a state is part of a country.
State two differences between a transmission designed for transverse front wheel drive compared with rear wheel drives?
Front wheel: Lighter in weight, because the driveshaft is shorter, meaning better fuel economy and no floor hump in the passenger compartment.

What are some differences between a state farm and a collective farm?
Some differences between collective farms and state farms were that state farms were run directly by the government and collective farms were run by groups of villagers and were controlled indirectly by the government.
What is the difference between a sound wave and a mechanical wave?
There are basically three types of waves in nature. 1) Transverse wave. 2) Longitudinal wave. 3) Matter waves. Transverse wave is the one in which the motion of particles takes place in the direction perpendicular to that of the propagation of the wave. For example consider the vibration in the string. The wave goes along the length of the string but the string particles maintain a to and fro motion in a direction normal to that of the string. A snapshot of a vibrating string will resemble the graph of a sine or cosine function. This is how a typical mechanical wave propagates. It may also be noted that it requires no medium for transmission On the contrary a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.In a longitudinal wave, propagation takes place in a direction of motion of particles.i.e the particles are in state of compression and rarefactions. plus it requires a medium for transmission
