Longitudinal waves don't with a high speed as their speed is 330 m/s in air whereas Transverse wave travel with a very high speed of 3 * 10^8 m/s. Similarities between longitudinal wave and transverse wave 1) They travel in a medium with constant speed which is different in different media.n longitudinal waves the waves move in the medium by compression and rarefaction whereas in transverse waves the waves move by forming crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves require a material medium for its propagation whereas Transverse waves travel without a medium.
A longitudinal wave is a wave where the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. When we studied transverse waves we looked at two different motions: the motion of the particles of the medium and the motion of the wave itself. We will do the same for longitudinal waves.
