Transverse & Longitudinal Waves

The video explains how waves transfer energy and can be classified as transverse or longitudinal. Longitudinal waves involve particles vibrating parallel to the wave direction, exemplified by sound waves. Transverse waves involve particles vibrating perpendicular to the wave direction, seen in water surface waves and electromagnetic waves. The video emphasizes that energy, not the medium, travels through waves.
