Verified Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Transverse waves have particle movement perpendicular to wave direction, while longitudinal waves have particle oscillation parallel to wave direction.


Explanation:

Transverse waves are waves where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. An example is a wave on a string where the string moves up and down as the wave travels horizontally.

Longitudinal waves are waves where the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. An example is sound waves in air where the air particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave.
