  Give some examples of waves which are the combination of both transverse and longitudinal wave motion.

Answer:

      If a wave propagates along the surface of a medium, then generally it has both transverse as well as longitudinal components. When such a wave travels through the medium, its particles move either along a circle or an ellipse.                               (i) Ocean waves in deep water. (ii) Seismic waves along the surface of the earth during earthquake.
