Lucky for us, the average salaries of UK jobs are revealed annually by those helpful number-crunching pixies at the Office of National Statistics. The survey of a whopping 21,563,000 people's earnings will either delight or depress you depending on what end of the scale you see yourself in the next five years.
This is what is called transverse and longitudinal waves. The difference between transverse and longitudinal waves is the direction in which the waves shake. If the wave shakes perpendicular to the movement direction, it's a transverse wave, if it shakes in the movement direction, then it's a longitudinal wave. [Transverse Wave] It is easy to imagine a transverse wave. The waves of the ocean and the waves transmitted from a tightened rope when shaken are transverse waves.
Difference Between Longitudinal and Transverse Wave. A wave is a disturbance which moves away from what created it and changes the thing that it travels on like the surface of the ocean or the air. This is caused by the transfer of energy that disturbs its medium or channel. There are several types of waves, and two of them are longitudinal and transverse waves. A longitudinal wave is a wave wherein the movement of the channel or medium is in the same direction as the wave. This causes particles to move left and right inducing other particles to oscillate or vibrate. The primary wave or P-wave in an earthquake is an example of a longitudinal wave.
