What is the primary difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

• Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel.

• Transverse waves require a medium, while longitudinal waves do not.

• Transverse waves travel faster than longitudinal waves.

• Transverse waves can only travel through solids, while longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
