Compare longitudinal and transverse mechanical waves.

Similarity: Shear wave and Longitudinal wave:
It is formed due to the inertness of the particles of the medium and the interaction between them;
the oscillation of each particle occurs with a delay;
each particle undergoes forced vibrations;
Differences: Shear wave: direction perpendicular to the direction of the medium particles, alternating humps and depressions

Longitudinal wave: the direction coincides with the direction of the particles of the medium, alternation of thickening and rarefaction
