Answer:

Longitudinal:

Sound wave thru air

Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) - Object on vibrating spring

Transmission of heat (rod, insulator)

Transverse Wave:

Radio or TV wave

Microwave - Oven, etc

Longitudinal waves need medium for transmission - air, spring, etc.

Transverse waves can travel thru vacuum
