Question

Write any two differences between the transverse and the longitudinal waves.

Answer 1

Difference between transverse and the longitudinal waves are as follows:

$Transverse$ $Wave:$

$1.$ Displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

$2.$ Can travel in solid but not in liquids and gas.

$Longitudinal$ $wave:$

$1.$ Displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

$2.$ Can travel through all states of matter.
