What's the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave?
Transverse waves involve particles oscillating perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel, while longitudinal waves involve particles oscillating parallel to the wave's direction of travel.
What's the highest point of a transverse wave?
The crest
How do waves interact with each other through interference and diffraction?
both governed by the principle of superposition.
