Longitudal waves
Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave's motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves, as they propagate through air by causing the air particles to compress and rarefy in the direction of the wave.
Mechanical Waves
When a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate, it creates sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical waves that travel through a medium by causing the particles of the medium to vibrate and transfer energy in the form of sound.
For transverse waves, the vibration of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. For longitudinal waves, the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.

Mechanical Waves
vibrate or oscillate. This vibration is then transferred through the medium, causing particles in the medium to also vibrate. This transfer of energy produces the mechanical wave.

For transverse waves, the vibration of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. For longitudinal waves, the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.
A standing wave is a wave that appears to be standing still, causing the medium to vibrate in a stationary pattern of loops. This effect is produced by the interference of two waves with the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions.
The transfer of energy.
A Wave Forms .
A wave that causes the medium to vibrate in stationery pattern resembling a loop or series of loops is called a resonant wave.
The medium vibrates in a direction parallel to the wave's motion due to the oscillation of particles along the same axis as the wave propagation. This type of wave motion is known as a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
