Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

The given statements are True.

Explanation:

The particle of the matter through which a wave move or travels is called medium. The mechanical waves can be distinguished into three types on the basis of the movement of the medium when the energy of the mechanical wave passes through, are: transverse, longitudinal, and surface waves

A transverse wave: perpendicular to the direction that the wave

A longitudinal wave: parallel to the direction that the wave
