Transverse wave.
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
The disturbance of a transverse wave is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. As the wave travels, the particles of the medium oscillate up and down or side to side, creating crests and troughs. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
A transverse wave has a disturbance that is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, creating crests and troughs as the wave moves. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves.
It would be a longitudinal wave. If you were to conduct an experiment to see which wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance, you would take a slinky and push it. And if you watch the wave, you'll see that it travels through the slinky outward, and travels back to the disturbance (your hand). This wave is a longitudinal wave.
A disturbance in a slinky wave refers to the physical displacement of the coils of the slinky from their equilibrium positions as the wave travels through it. This displacement creates the wave pattern that propagates through the slinky.

A transverse wave is a type of wave where the disturbance moves perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. This means that the energy travels in the same direction as it was transferred. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.

Light does that.
Longitudinal wave
Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P
A disturbance in a slinky wave refers to the physical displacement of the coils of the slinky from their equilibrium positions as the wave travels through it. This displacement creates the wave pattern that propagates through the slinky.
The disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave is called a longitudinal wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's energy propagation. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
A wave of light propagates due to the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other. When light is emitted or absorbed by charged particles, it creates a disturbance that travels through space in the form of electromagnetic waves.
