Types of waves
A transverse wave is when matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles.
Example: A water wave travels horizontally as the water moves vertically up and down.
A compressional wave is when matter in the medium moves back and forth along the same direction that the wave travels.
Example:Coiled spring toy.
