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.
For a sound wave, air is the medium. There are two classes of waves, transverse and longitudinal. A transverse wave is one in which the medium moves perpendicular to the wave direction. Transverse waves cause the medium to move up and down while the wave moves out from its source. An example is an ocean wave. A longitudinal wave,sometimes called a compressional wave, moves in the same direction as the medium.
