Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compressional waves or compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. The other main type of wave is the transverse wave, in which the displacements of the medium are at right angles to the direction of propagation.n longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of the wave. A wave along the length of a stretched Slinky toy, where the distance between coils increases and decreases, is a good visualization. Sound waves in air are longitudinal, pressure waves.
A wave on a rope is a transverse wave. Light and other electromagnetic waves are also transverse waves. Another type of transverse wave is the S wave or secondary wave, which is the second wave you feel in an earthquake. See information on S waves.
