What is a transverse wave?
If the vibration of the wave is not along the direction of the wave's movement, then this wave is a transverse wave
If the vibration of the wave is along the direction of the wave's movement, then this wave is a transverse wave
If the vibration of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's movement, then this wave is a transverse wave
If the vibration of the wave is parallel to the direction of the wave's movement, then this wave is a transverse wave
What is a longitudinal wave?
If the vibration of the wave is not along the direction of the wave's movement, then this wave is a longitudinal wave
If the vibration of the wave is along the direction of the wave's movement, then this wave is a longitudinal wave
If the vibration of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's movement, then this wave is a longitudinal wave
If the vibration of the wave is parallel to the direction of the wave's movement, then this wave is a longitudinal wave
