Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To describe how you can model a longitudinal wave as a transverse wave, think of a string or a rope tied at one end to the wall and held at the other end.

As the rope is being disturbed, the direction of the wave will be perpendicular to the direction of the movement causing the wave.

In this situation, the longitudinal wave is modelled as a transverse wave.
