@plustwophysics: 🌊 How do waves really move? In a transverse wave, particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave travel, producing compressions and rarefactions. 👉 The particles mainly oscillate around their equilibrium positions — it is the energy disturbance that travels through the medium. . . . #Wavemotion #waves #TransverseWave #longitudinalwave #educational
