How does transverse waves move?

When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.


How many right angles are there in a rhombus?

A rhombus normally has no right angles (at the vertices). If a rhombus has right angles (at the vertices), it is called a square. The diagonals of a rhombus meet at right angles.
