Venn diagrams are used for comparing and contrasting topics. The overlapping sections show characteristics that the topics have in common, and the sections that are unique to each topic show the characteristics that apply to only that topic. This Venn diagram is comparing longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

Where is the error in this Venn diagram?

“Parallel” and “Perpendicular” are switched.
The spring descriptions of motion are switched.
Particles travel along the wave in longitudinal waves.
Particles move long distances in transverse waves.

Answer:

The commonality between the two waves is that they; “Carry energy” and “Follow a pattern”.

A wave is defined as a disturbance along a medium that transfers energy. Mechanical waves require a material medium for propagation while electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium fro propagation.

At the center of the Venn diagram, there ought to be something that is common to both of the types of waves and that is the fact that they both “Carry energy” and “Follow a pattern”.

Hence, what is common is that all the waves carry energy.
