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.
Transverse Waves and Longitudinal Waves. Another way to describe a wave is by the direction that its disturbance is traveling. Transverse waves are waves where the disturbance moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. You can think of the wave moving left to right, while the disturbance moves up and down. One example of a transverse wave is a water wave where the water moves up and down as the wave passes through the ocean.
