Transverse and longitudinal waves. Illustration showing the propagation of transverse waves and longitudinal waves in a slinky spring. In transverse (or shear) waves the displacement is at right angles to the direction of propagation, and energy is transferred in the direction of propagation. In longitudinal (or compression) waves both the displacement of the medium and the transfer of energy are along the axis of propagation. | |
