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.

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.
Is longitudinal a sound wave?
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
What are the parts to a longitudinal wave?
Condensation is the increase in density in a longitudinal wave, thus it signifies a high pressure area, which is higher energy, which is equated to the crest of a transverse wave.
