If waves are produced on the surface of water then such a wave is transverse in nature. If we deal with surface waves of radio propagation then those electromagnetic waves too are transverse in nature.
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
back and forth
Water waves are a special example of a combination of transverse and longitudinal oscillation. The individual particles in a water wave move with a circular motion, therefore they have both a vertical and horizontal component to their movement through the wave i.e up and down (Transverse) and side to side (Longitudinal) components.
the particles in a surface water move back- and- forth only.
Water is both a Longitudinal and Transverse Wave. They are Transverse on the surface, this is because the motion of the surface water waves go up and down,which is perpendicular from the still surface of the water. Longitudinal because the underwater goes back and forth which is parallel to the water, making it Longitudinal.

The combination of a transverse waves and a longitudinal waves produce surface waves. The waves found in water are a good example. When a wave moves through the waver, particles travel in clockwise circles, and the radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases.

There are many forms of water waves. The characteristics of water waves that are transverse waves are that the particles of the wave move perpendicular to the direction the wave moves.

No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.

Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation. Think of one wave by itself. Which direction is it propagating? Some direction parallel to the surface of the water. Now think of one particular piece of water that the wave passes through. It's motion goes upwards and downwards, which is perpendicular from the surface of the water, therefore transverse. Waves oscillating parallel to the direction of energy propagation are called longitudinal.
Waves formed on the surface of water are transverse in nature. But sound waves when propagated through water medium then that will be in longitudinal nature. Cannot be seen on the surface.
