Types of Waves
In general, there are two kinds of waves:
- Waves may be transverse.
- Waves may be longitudinal.
For transverse waves, the individual disturbance is
perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion as a whole.
For longitudinal waves, the individual disturbance
is along the same direction as the wave motion as a whole.
