What is the difference between transverse waves and longitudinal waves

In a transverse wave, the vibration of the particles (or the direction of the oscillation in the case of electromagnetic waves) is perpendicular to the direction of propagation. This means, if the wave moves in the x-direction, the oscillations may be in the y-direction, for example, the plane waves are transverse waves.

Longitudinal waves, as the name says, are the waves where the oscillation is parallel to the direction of movement. In the case of mechanical waves, this type is called "compressional waves", an example of this can be the pressure waves or the sound waves. For the electromagnetic waves this case is not really common, but Maxwell's equations do lead to the appearance of longitudinal waves under some circumstances, for example, in plasma waves or guided waves.

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
