Describe the difference between a transverse wave and a compressional/longitudinal wave?

Compressional has to have water, transverse has to be perpendicular.

Transverse must be at a 90 degree angle, compressional/longitudinal must have matter

They are both mechanical, however transverse must go up and down (perpendicular), and longitudinal is squeezed or parallel.

They are both mechanical, however longitudinal go up and down, and transverse is in the shape of an S.

A wave is traveling at a constant speed. If the frequency of the wave is increased, what must happen to the wave's wavelength?

The wavelength will remain the same.

The wavelength will also increase

The wavelength will increase first, then decrease.

The wavelength will The wavelength will increase first, then decrease.
