Answer:

Explanation:

Waves is defined as a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself.

Longitudinal waves and transverse waves are types of progressive waves and their difference depends on the direction of the vibrating medium and the wave generated by the medium.

Longitudinal waves are generated when the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction of wave generated while transverse waves are waves generated when the vibration of a medium is to the direction of wave.
