Waves

A wave is a periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas.

Transverse and Longitudinal waves are different in many ways but are also the same. One way they are different are Transverse waves particles vibrate up and down Longitudinal particles vibrate back and forth.

One way they are the same is they are waves.

The Crests is the high part of the wave, the Troughs is the low part of the wave. The medium is the part of the wave that causes the wave to move. Compresions are when particles get close together. Unlike Compresions rarefactions particles are spread out.
