- 1What is a transverse wave?In transverse waves, the vibrations are at right angles to the directions of travel
- 2What is a longitudinal wave?Sound waves and waves in a stretched Spring (in longitudinal waves, the vibrations are along the same direction as the direction of travel).

- 4What wave is this?Transverse
- 5What travels along a wave, is it that particles or the vibrations?The vibrations - because otherwise there would be no particles at the source of the sound, the particles vibrate the sound along but do not move.
