The Nature of Waves: Types of Waves

The video tutorial explains two main types of waves: transverse and longitudinal. Transverse waves, such as light and electromagnetic waves, have particles that move perpendicular to the wave's direction. Longitudinal waves, like sound waves, have particles that vibrate parallel to the wave's direction. The video uses a rope and a slinky toy to demonstrate these concepts, highlighting how energy travels through different mediums.
