longitudinal waves.
The waves where matter in the medium moves forward and backward in the same direction are called longitudinal waves. In these waves, particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves.
Longitudinal waves have particles in the medium that move in the same direction as the wave propagates. This type of wave is characterized by compressions and rarefactions of the medium. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
A longitudinal wave moves matter back and forth in the same direction that the wave is travelling. This type of wave creates compressions and rarefactions in the medium as it moves. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves.
The type of wave in which the matter in the wave moves in the same direction as the wave itself is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth parallel to the direction of energy transport. This is in contrast to a transverse wave, where the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transport. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
Transverse waves are waves in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, electromagnetic waves, and seismic S-waves.
Transverse waves are the type of waves in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves. This means that the oscillation of the particles is at right angles to the direction of energy transfer. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves.
In a transverse wave, the particles in the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave's travel. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves.

In a transverse wave, matter in the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles of the medium move side to side or up and down as the wave passes through.
In a longitudinal wave, matter moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. This means that particles oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, causing compressions and rarefactions in the medium. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
