What is a wave transfer?
It is not "transfer". it has to be " Transverse" wave. When the particles of the medium does vibrations simple harmonically perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave then it is said to be transverse wave. Even electromagnetic wave too is a transverse wave as its electric and magnetic omponents are normal to the direction of propagation.
What wave has peaks and valleys?
All of them. Electromagnetic, sound, even a water wave until it hits shore.
What is the explanation for the principles of electromagnetic wave?
An electromagnetic wave is properly called a Transverse Electro Magnetic wave, or TEM wave. It consists of an alternating magnetic wave at right angles to an alternating electric wave, with both fields being at right angles to the direction of propagation. The plane of the electric field is defined as the plane of polarization.
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
What is definition of transverse shear?
Look it The shearing action/force which takes place in y-direction(transverse dirn.)is known as transverse shear...........
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.
What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?
The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.
Name an example of a transverse wave?
Snapping a whip.
Light wave are an example of transverse waves?
yes it is
What transverse wave means?
The particles in a transverse wave are displaced perpendicularly to the direction of the wave motion. For example, water waves are transverse waves. Think of how in the sea, the wave is moving towards the shore, but the water goes up and down. The water molecules are being displaced vertically, but the wave itself is moving horizontally. This is the characteristic motion of a transverse wave. Transverse waves are also able to move through a vacuum. Light, for example, is a transverse wave, and it can move through space, which is a vacuum. (A longitudinal wave, on the other hand, has particles which move in the same direction as the wave, and cannot travel through a vacuum. For example, sound waves.)
Name a real life example of a transverse wave?
Transverse wave vibrations are at 90 degrees to the direction of wave ravelexamples are:radiomicrowavesinfra -red raysgamma raysx- raysultra violet
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
Is light a transverse wave or a compressal wave?
A transverse wave
Is a radio a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
its a transverse wave

Tranverse wave is a wave that moves perpendicular?
A transverse wave is a moving wave in which the displacement of the medium carrying the wave is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propogation. An example of a transverse wave is a string oscillating up and down.
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
