Me compare and contrast a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave. include 3 facts they share in common and 3 facts about each that they do not have in common. 1 fact for each should be how to measure the wavelength. also include 1 example type of wave for each.

Similarities: They are waves, they both displace particles, both transfer energy

Differences: Transverse- particles move perpendicularly, waves are perpendicular to direction, and they are 2 dimension .   Longitudinal- particles are displaced same direction as a wave, move left and right, and are one dimension

How to measure:

Transverse- measure 2 adjacent crests or troughs

Longitudinal- measure from one rare faction to another or one compression to another

Example: Transverse- vibrations in string . Longitudinal- sound waves
