vibration.

4. Types of Waves
 Transverse Waves
Longitudinal Waves

5. Transverse Waves
 are waves which travel in a
direction perpendicular to the
direction of vibrations.
Direction of vibrations
Direction of wave

6. Generating Transverse
Waves

7. Transverse Waves
examples include
water waves
rope waves
light wave
electromagnetic waves

8. Longitudinal Waves
 are waves which travel in a direction
parallel to the direction of vibrations.
