Transverse wave

The video explains the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves. Transverse waves, such as electromagnetic waves including visible light, have medium vibrations at right angles to the direction of travel. In contrast, longitudinal waves, like sound waves, have vibrations parallel to the wave direction.
