- 1Transverse wave definition Longitudinal wave definition Wave speed equationTransverse & Longitudinal - Transverse = A wave in which the oscillation (vibrations) are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, e.g. the EM spectrum, waves in water and a wave on a string
Longitudinal = A wave in which the oscillations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer, e.g. sound waves, shock waves
Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
