Mechanical waves are produced when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate. Mechanical waves are classified by how they move. There are two types of mechanical waves: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Transverse means "across." Longitude means "horizontal". Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling.

What are the two classifications of waves?
The two classifications of waves are transverse waves, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, and longitudinal waves, where the particles move parallel to the direction of the wave.
Are x-rays alpha wave?
Alpha wave has nothing to do with X-rays, or with physics. They are a classification of "brain waves" as seen on EEGs; in the 7-13 Hz region they are only seen when the eyes of the subject are closed. Alpha particles are in the domain of physics; not waves or rays, but the nuclei of helium atoms.
