We can distinguish between two classes of waves, based on the motion of the medium through which it propagates. With transverse waves, the elements of the medium oscillate back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

- 1.2: Wave Properties
The longitudinal waves in an earthquake are called pressure waves (P-waves) and the transverse waves are called shear waves (S-waves). These two types of waves propagate at different speeds, and the speed at which they travel depends on the rigidity of the medium through which they are traveling.
14 Μαΐ 2023 · Waves come in two kinds, longitudinal and transverse. Transverse waves are like those on water, with the surface going up and down, and longitudinal waves are like of those of sound, consisting of alternating compressions and rarefactions in a medium.
Define mechanical waves and medium, and relate the two; Distinguish a pulse wave from a periodic wave; Distinguish a longitudinal wave from a transverse wave and give examples of such waves

Review your understanding of wave properties in this free article aligned to NGSS standards.
The variables \(x\) and \(t\) are completely independent of each other – we can look at different positions on the wave at the same time, or at a single position on the wave at different times. For two functions of independent variables to be equal to each other, it means that they must both equal the same constant.
