- Transverse: a vibrating guitar string — the string moves up and down while the wave travels along the string, so the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
- Longitudinal: sound waves in air — air molecules compress and rarefy along the direction the sound travels, so the oscillation is parallel to the propagation.
