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.

What is an example of transversal wave and longitudinal wave?
Sound is a longitudinal wave, as is any other mechanical wave. Light is a transversal wave, as all other Elektromagnetic waves.
What is the highest point of a transversal wave called?
a crest.
What are some facts about transversal waves?
Transverse waves are perpendicular to wave motion.
Sound is a longitudinal wave What does the word 'longitudinal' mean?
It means the disturbance (e.g., pressure difference) goes in the same direction as the direction of the wave. In a transversal wave, on the other hand, the disturbance goes at a right angle.It means the disturbance (e.g., pressure difference) goes in the same direction as the direction of the wave.

What is the circumference of a transversal?
A transversal is a straight line and so it has no circumference.
What is a angle cut but a transversal?
What is a angle on the opposite side of the transversal
What is an example of transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
An example of a transverse wave is light, where the oscillations occur perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound, where the oscillations are in the same direction as the wave propagation, causing compression and rarefaction of the medium.
What is a transversal?
A transversal is a line that crosses more than one line.
What is a transversal angle?
A Transversal angle is a line that intersects a system of lines.
Why do the particles which the wave travels and the direction the wave travels relate each other?
It depends on whether the wave is a transversal or longitudinal wave. A transversal wave has particles in the medium oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the wave's direction. This is the case in for example water wave; the water moves up and down, but the wave moves forward. A longitudinal wave has the particles moving backwards and forwards in same direction the wave travels. This is the case in ordinary sound waves. You can see (or feel) this yourself when you look at the skin of a subwoofer making sounds (it is clearer when it is producing tones with a low pitch).
