Solution

Transverse and longitudinal waves fall under the category of Mechanical waves. These types of waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or a solid substance. Transverse waves move the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while longitudinal waves move the medium in the same direction as the wave.
