Which is NOT true about longitudinal waves?

• A sound wave is an example of this type of wave.

• Particles transmitting this wave will have parallel motion to the wave.

• They require a medium to travel through (don't travel in space).

• A light wave is an example of this type of wave.

Which is NOT true about transverse waves?

• A sound wave is an example of this type of wave.

• They can travel through the vacuum of space.

• They do not require a medium to travel through.

• A light wave is an example of this type of wave.
