well i need to find a way of distinguishing between the two, so if you were given a wave, not knowing what wave it was and then you had to find if it was longitudinal or transverse. its not for 1 particular wave. does that help? :/

I have looked everywhere to find a simple, easy test to find whether a wave is longitudinal or transverse, I've read my textbook and I think it may be to do with polarisation but I am not quite sure how, or someone said that passing the wave through a vacuum would determine the type of wave. any...
