Difference Between Longitudinal and Transverse Wave

Longitudinal

• The medium moves in the same direction of the wave
• It acts in one dimension
• The wave cannot be polarized or aligned
• This wave can be produced in any medium such as gas, liquid or solid
• The earthquake P wave is an example
• It is made of rarefactions and compressions

Transverse

• The medium is moving perpendicular to the direction of wave
• It acts in two dimensions
• The wave can be polarized or aligned
• This wave can be produced in solid and liquid’s surface
• Earthquake S wave is an example
• It is made of troughs and crests
