Water Waves - Transverse
Throw pebble in pound & ripples spread out, ripples are waves travelling through water, move up and down e.g.. stand still in sea & water rises & falls as waves move past you
Reflection - water waves can reflect/'bounce off' surface e.g.. waves reflected when hit harbour wall
-
Sound Waves - Longitudinal
Sound waves start with some vibrating body e.g.. tuning fork, drum, bell etc. & vibrate air columns

Sound is transmitted by particles in a solid, liquid or gas (air) colliding with each other. It is a wave created by vibrating objects & moves through a medium e.g.. solid, liquid or gas from one location to another
