-- If you tie the viola to the end of a rope, then wiggle the viola and send waves
down the rope to the other end, those are transverse waves.
-- If you pluck or bow the viola strings, then the strings themselves vibrate with
transverse waves.
-- However, the sound waves that proceed from the viola to the ear of the delighted
concertgoer are longitudinal ones.

Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves cant?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that need a medium to propagate. This can be air,water or solids. Sound waves work like a truck hitting a line of cars. The wave travels through the line from back to front but would not if there were no cars. Radio waves, like light are electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium to radiate. That is why we see Sunlight but do not hear the constant roar of the Sun's fusion activity.

Where do longitudinal waves originate?
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.
