back and forth
Transverse waves are alike longitudinal waves in that they both transfer energy, but transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of the wave. Transverse waves are characterized by crests and troughs, while longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
Sonic waves are longitudinal waves, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This is in contrast to transverse waves where particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of the wave.
Transverse waves move by vibrating particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This motion creates crests and troughs as the wave travels. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
Longitudinal waves are not transverse. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation instead of perpendicular to it like in transverse waves. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
Waves that move up and down are called transverse waves. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and waves on a guitar string.

Examples of transverse waves include water waves, light waves, and electromagnetic waves. In these waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer. This means that particles in transverse waves move up and down while particles in longitudinal waves move back and forth. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves, while light waves are examples of transverse waves.
Shock waves are a type of longitudinal waves, meaning the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Transverse waves.
Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, while longitudinal waves move parallel to it. In a medium, transverse waves cause particles to move up and down, while longitudinal waves cause particles to move back and forth. When both types of waves are present in a medium, they can interact and create complex wave patterns.
Transverse waves will move across the direction of travel.
