There are many different waves depending on the characterization category being studied. If waves are being characterized by the matter that they travel these waves include electromagnetic, physical, and longitudinal waves.

Real/scalar waves and vector waves, commonly called longitudinal and transverse waves. The two waves are the scalar wave and the vector wave of a Quaternion Wave.

Consider Quaternion Energy W = -vh/r + cP = [-vh/r, cP] the wave equations is

the Second Derivative or Curvature:

X2W = [d/dr, Del]2 [-vh/r, cP] = [(d2/dr2 - Del2), 2d/dr Del ] [-vh/r, cP]

X2W = [-(d2/dr2 - Del2)vh/r - 2cd/dr Del.P, (d2/dr2 - Del2)cP + 2d/dr( Del -vh/r + cDelxP) ]

The Longitudinal wave is the Scalar Wave (Del.P) and the Transverse Wave (DelxP) is the vector Wave.
