Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Wave motion is caused by the disturbance created in the medium. If the particles of the medium vibrate to and fro in the same wave direction, then it is called longitudinal waves. For example, sound waves are longitudinal waves. If the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave motion, it forms a transverse wave. An example of a transverse wave is a ripple produced on the water surface in a pool.
