Question

which type of wave is shown in this image? transverse longitudinal

Explanation:

A transverse wave has oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, forming crests and troughs as shown in the image. A longitudinal wave has oscillations parallel to the direction of wave propagation, forming compressions and rarefactions. Since the image shows crests and troughs (perpendicular oscillations), it is a transverse wave.

Answer:

transverse
