Explanation:

For the blanks:

• Examples of Longitudinal Waves: Sound waves (also seismic P - waves, etc., but sound is a common example).
• Transverse Waves - energy moves as particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (so fill "perpendicular to the direction of wave motion" in the first blank and the second blank can be about the wave's direction, but more precisely, particles oscillate up and down (or side - to - side) and the wave moves forward, so for the blanks, "perpendicular to the direction of wave travel" and "the wave travels forward" (but in the context of the slide, likely "up and down" and "the wave moves horizontally" or more accurately, the standard is that in transverse waves, particle oscillation is perpendicular to wave propagation. So the first blank: "perpendicular to the direction of wave motion", second blank: "the wave moves in the direction of propagation" (but maybe simpler, "up and down" and "the wave moves forward").
• Example - Light waves transfer electromagnetic energy.
• Longitudinal Waves - energy moves as particles compress and rarefy (or oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation). So the blanks: "compress" and "rarefy" (or "oscillate parallel to the direction of wave motion" and "the wave moves in that direction").
• Example - Sound waves transfer energy through solids, liquids, or gases.

Answer:

• Examples of Longitudinal Waves - Sound waves (or Seismic P - waves, etc.)
• Transverse Waves - energy moves as particles oscillate $\boldsymbol{\text{perpendicular to the direction of wave motion}}$ and $\boldsymbol{\text{the wave travels forward}}$ (or "up and down" and "horizontally" depending on context)
• Example - Light waves transfer $\boldsymbol{\text{electromagnetic}}$ energy
• Longitudinal Waves - energy moves as particles $\boldsymbol{\text{compress}}$ and $\boldsymbol{\text{rarefy}}$ (or "oscillate parallel to the direction of wave motion" and "the wave moves in that direction")
• Example - $\boldsymbol{\text{Sound}}$ waves transfer energy through solids, liquids, or gases
