What is called a transverse wave? And what is called a longitudinal wave?
(N/A) transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. For example,waves on a stretched string.
$A$ longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium oscillate in a direction parallel to the direction of wave propagation. For example,sound waves in air.
$A$ longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium oscillate in a direction parallel to the direction of wave propagation. For example,sound waves in air.
