What media does a transverse wave travel through?
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
Are their transverse waves in a pond or lake?
Transverse. The wave raises and falls as the wave travels forward.
Is a water wave transverse or compressional?
yes
Which kind of wave is a water wave?
A wave in a body of water is a traveling transverse wave because the motion of the medium (water) is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
Is It true or false that a water ripple is a transverse wave?
True
What is a transversal wave?
A transverse wave is a wave that the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are a ripple in a pond and a wave on a string. Transverse waves may occur on a wave, throughout a solid and on the surface of a wave. Transverse waves cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.

Is water a transverse wave?
no
What is the source of the water wave?
one ripple will increase in size as it goes to shore all it takes is one ripple in the wave
Is a transverse wave a electromagentic wave?
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.

yes
What are concentric circles in a ripple called?
These are the crests and troughs of the wave (in a ripple on the surface of water or other liquid).
Which kind of wave is a water wave?
A wave in a body of water is a traveling transverse wave because the motion of the medium (water) is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
Why is water neither a transverse wave or a compressed wave?
Mainly because it isn't a wave.
