Lucky for us, the average salaries of UK jobs are revealed annually by those helpful number-crunching pixies at the Office of National Statistics. The survey of a whopping 21,563,000 people's earnings will either delight or depress you depending on what end of the scale you see yourself in the next five years.
This is what is called transverse and longitudinal waves. The difference between transverse and longitudinal waves is the direction in which the waves shake. If the wave shakes perpendicular to the movement direction, it's a transverse wave, if it shakes in the movement direction, then it's a longitudinal wave. [Transverse Wave] It is easy to imagine a transverse wave. The waves of the ocean and the waves transmitted from a tightened rope when shaken are transverse waves.
Answers. Best Answer: A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations. The upper part of this oscillation is called the crest. The lower part is called the trough. In a transverse wave the particles of the medium oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation. These waves can propagate through solids and liquids but not through gases, because gases do not possess elastic properties.
