Water waves are a special example of a combination of transverse and longitudinal oscillation. The individual particles in a water wave move with a circular motion, therefore they have both a vertical and horizontal component to their movement through the wave i.e up and down (Transverse) and side to side (Longitudinal) components.
An ocean wave is a transverse wave because the motion of the water particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. As the wave passes through the water, the water particles move up and down in a vertical direction, while the wave itself travels horizontally.
Ocean waves are considered to be a combination of both transverse and longitudinal waves. While the surface water particles move in a circular motion, causing a transverse wave motion, the energy in ocean waves propagates forward, exhibiting characteristics of a longitudinal wave.
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This causes the wave to move in a side-to-side or up-and-down motion. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and ocean waves.
A transverse wave displaces particles perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation, like ocean waves. A compression wave displaces particles parallel to the wave's direction of propagation, like sound waves.
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
