Final answer:

Transverse waves involve particles moving perpendicular to the wave's direction, while longitudinal waves involve particles oscillating parallel to the wave's motion.


Explanation:

A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In contrast, a longitudinal wave is a wave where particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave's motion. An example of a transverse wave is a water wave, while a sound wave serves as an example of a longitudinal wave.
