Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The waves to be classified are missing from this questions. So, I'll just explain what Transverse and Longitudinal waves are together with examples for each.

A transverse wave is one in which the direction of travel of the wave/disturbance is perpendicular to the direction of the primary cause of the wave/disturbance. The oscillations/vibrations of the wave are perpendicular to the path of propagation or direction of the wave.

Examples include all electromagnetic waves (radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, gamma rays), waves in a string of guitar, ripples on the surface of water, seismic S waves etc.

A Longitudinal Wave is one whose direction of travel of the wave/disturbance is parallel to the direction of the primary cause of the wave/disturbance. The oscillations/vibrations of the wave are parallel to the path of propagation or direction of the wave.

Examples include sound waves, seismic P waves, ultrasound waves etc.

Hope this Helps!!!
