THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF WAVES TRANSVERSE & LONGITUDINAL
In Transverse waves the energy/wave moves perpendicular to the particles✚
Longitudinal waves are waves where the energy moves parallel to the particles,
both energy/wave and particle move along
in the same direction.
Think of how an earthworm moves!
