AQA GCSE PHYSICS EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2023 Transverse waves The vibrations are at right angles to the direction of travel. Longitudinal waves The vibrations are along the same direction as the direction of travel. Examples of transverse waves Light and other types of electromagnetic radiation, as well as water waves and S waves (a type of seismic wave). Examples of longitudinal waves Sound waves and waves in a stretched spring, and P waves.
