Answer
There are two basic types of wave motion:
(i) longitudinal waves and (ii) transverse waves.
In longitudinal wave, the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation and in transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
