In transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples of transverse waves include:

- Electromagnetic waves such as light, radio waves, microwaves, and infrared radiation.

- Mechanical waves such as water waves and vibrations on a string.

2. Longitudinal waves:

In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include:

- Sound waves

- Pressure waves in fluids and gases

- Seismic waves in solids

Each of these wave types has distinct properties and behaviors, and they can occur in various physical systems and mediums.
