(N/A)       Longitudinal Waves    Transverse Waves        $1$. The particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.    $1$. The particles of the medium vibrate at right angles to the direction of wave propagation.        $2$. They can travel through solids,liquids,and gases.    $2$. They can travel only through solids and on the surfaces of liquids.        $3$. They consist of regions of compressions and rarefactions.    $3$. They consist of crests and troughs.        $4$. They cannot be polarized.    $4$. They can be polarized.        Example: Sound waves in air.    Example: Vibrations in a stretched string.
