Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, or the waves you can create by stretching a slinky along the floor and pushing or pulling it along its length. You can also see these waves in water and other fluids or the earth – but these examples can have transverse waves, too. ...
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel. Transverse waves are characterized by peaks and valleys, called crests and troughs. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the wave's direction of travel. ...
In summary, the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves lies in the direction of movement of the medium particles. In transverse waves, the particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, while in longitudinal waves, the particles move parallel to the direction of wave ...
Some waves are not purely transverse or longitudinal. For example, the seismic (earthquake) waves produced in the interior of earth travel both in the form of longitudinal and transverse waves.
Longitudinal vs. Transverse Waves invert 180° when they reflect off a barrier Diffraction through slits Doppler Effect: motion can shift frequency (pitch) up or down. Tubes resonate when air blows through them The natural resonant frequency is affected by…… Shorter strings, shorter wavelengths, ...

Except for light, waves are undulations in a material medium. Transverse wave motion occurs when points in the medium oscillate at right angles to the direction of the wave's travel. If a wave travels from left to right, the particles of the medium will
