If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
The type of wave that has a trough and crest is called a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation, resulting in the formation of crests and troughs.
The combination of a transverse waves and a longitudinal waves produce surface waves. The waves found in water are a good example. When a wave moves through the waver, particles travel in clockwise circles, and the radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases.
just think for a second... what does a transverse wave look like and what does visible light waves look like? the same? yes. yes it is transverse not longitudinal.
Transverse waves are waves where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This type of wave is common in electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves, as well as in waves on strings and the surface of liquids.
Transverse waves cause matter in the medium to move up and down or back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves in the ocean.

To produce a transverse wave in a spring, you can displace one end of the spring vertically or horizontally and then release it. This initial displacement creates a disturbance that propagates along the spring in a perpendicular direction, resulting in a transverse wave.

The type of wave in which the disturbance moves at right angles to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves (like light) and waves on a string.
Yes, an infrared wave is a transverse wave. Transverse waves are characterized by oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, and infrared waves exhibit this type of motion as they propagate through space.

The wave produced by fans in a stadium is a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the motion of the medium (the standing and sitting fans) is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels. This causes the wave to appear as a "crest and trough" pattern moving across the stadium.
To produce a transverse wave in a slinky by moving its free end, you can move the end up and down or side to side in a periodic motion. This motion will create a series of crests and troughs that propagate along the slinky as a transverse wave.
