Sample Response: Longitudinal and transverse waves are mechanical waves, so both carry energy through particles of matter. Longitudinal waves transfer energy parallel to the direction of wave motion, and transverse waves transfer energy perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. What did you include in your response? Check all that applyLongitudinal and transverse waves are mechanical waves, so they both carry energy through particles of matter.Longitudinal waves are waves that transfer ener
