Question
transverse wave
move perpendicular to the medium (up/down or side to side)
move parallel to the direction - forward and backward motion
longitudinal waves
move parallel to the direction - forward and backward motion
is the distance from the center of one compression to the center of the next compression.
Transverse waves have particle motion perpendicular to the wave propagation direction (e.g., up/down or side - to - side). Longitudinal waves have particle motion parallel to the wave propagation direction (forward and backward motion).
