The examples of matter waves are:
- photo-electrons
- ballistic electrons in Nanotechnology devices (scanning-tunneling microscopy, quantum Hall effect)
- atoms released from a coherent source (atom laser).

ViviA transverse wave is a wave in which the direction of displacement is perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. One example is an ocean wave, the wave travels towards the shore but the water moves vertically. Another is a wave of light, the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
What are the two types of waves?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
Polarization is a property of?
Polarization is a property of transverse waves.
Which properties does a longitudinal wave lack?
Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
