Transverse waves/longitudinal waves
Natalia Terleckyj
All waves transfer energy by vibrations, but waves can differ in multiple ways .In transverse waves vibrate up-down motion where longitudinal waves the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth along the path.If you push a spring back and forth it creates a longitudinal waves the same way with a that shaking a rope up and down you just created a transverse wave.
Compression and rarefaction are like crests and troughs of a transverse waves.when particles spread apart is a rarefaction, when there are springs crowd together it called a compression.
