How do the characteristics of transverse waves and longitudinal waves compare
Answer:
Both waves transmit energy. – Transverse waves can travel through empty
space or a medium while longitudinal waves require a medium to transfer.
– In a Transverse Wave the energy travels perpendicularly to the wave
– In a Longitudinal Wave the energy travels parallel to the wave

Essential Learnings
Transverse Waves – Energy travels perpendicular to the
wave– Do not require a medium– Amplitude is the distance from the
rest position to the crest or trough of the wave.
– Light travels in Transverse Waves
Essential Learnings
Longitudinal Waves – Energy travels parallel to the wave– The portion of this wave where it is
crowded together is called the compression
– The portion where the space between compressions is greatest is called the rarefaction.
Essential Learnings
Longitudinal Waves – Requires a medium– Wavelength is the distance from one
compression to the next compression of the wave.
– Sound being produced by vibrations travels in Longitudinal Waves
