Transverse Waves |
Longitudinal Waves |
|
1 |
Those
waves in which particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction
of propagation of waves are called transverse waves. |
Those
waves in which particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of
propagation of waves are called longitudinal waves. |
|
2 |
These
waves consists of Crests (Upper/Positive Part of wave where displacement of
medium is maximum) and Troughs(Lower/Negative part of wave where displacement
of medium is minimum) |
These waves
consists of Compressions(region where particles are closer than average) and
Rarefactions(region where particles are father apart than average) |

Example: Water waves, waves in rope, light waves. |
For
Example: Sound waves, Waves in Spring, Seismic waves. |
