Transverse waves move perpendicularly to their disturbance, longitudinal waves move parallel to their disturbance, and mechanical waves like acoustic waves transfer energy through matter.
Transverse wave: A wave where the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction of propagation. An example is waves in a pond.
Longitudinal wave: A wave where the disturbance is parallel to the direction of propagation. An example is sound waves.
Mechanical waves: Transfer energy through matter; for example, acoustic waves that propagate through a medium.
