Transverse and longitudinal waves have distinct motion characteristics, affecting their propagation speed, frequency, and methods of production.
A transverse wave moves with the disturbance perpendicular to the direction of propagation, while a longitudinal wave has the disturbance parallel to the propagation direction. For example, a wave on a guitar string is transverse, and the sound it produces is longitudinal.
Propagation speed is the speed of the wave through a medium, and frequency is the number of waves passing a point per unit time. Wavelength is directly proportional to wave speed and inversely proportional to frequency.
To create transverse waves on a stretched spring, you can move one end up and down horizontally. Longitudinal waves on the spring can be produced by compressing and releasing the spring along its length.
