A longitudinal wave is a type of wave that travels in the direction of the medium, but a transverse wave is another type of wave that travels in the direction of the medium. Longitudinal waves are made of compressions and rarefactions, while transverse waves are made of crests and troughs.

The Simple Wave Simulator provides the learner an environment to explore the distinction between longitudinal and transverse waves, the wavelength-frequency-period relationship, sound waves as pressure waves, and much more.
24 Απρ 2022 · Waves on a slinky are either transverse, in that the motion of the material of the slinky is perpendicular to the orientation of the slinky, or they are longitudinal, with material motion in the direction of the stretched slinky. (See figure 1.1.)
Transverse waves show areas of peaks and troughs. Examples of transverse waves include: Electromagnetic waves e.g. radio, visible light, UV. Vibrations on a guitar string. Transverse waves do not need particles to propagate, and so they can travel through a vacuum.
Learn about and revise transverse, longitudinal and electromagnetic waves with GCSE Bitesize Physics.
Longitudinal waves are waves where the motion of the material in the wave is back and forth in the same direction that the wave moves. Sound waves (in air and in solids) are examples of longitudinal waves.
In the diagram the rope moves up and down, producing peaks and troughs. Energy is transferred from left to right. However, none of the particles are transported along a transverse wave.
