A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium vibrates at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
There is no one unique source of energy that will produce a wave with this property.

What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
What is it that moves from source to receiver and wave motion?
The wavelength of a transverse wave is the distance between successive crests.
What type of energy does a transverse wave carry?
kinetic, electromagnetic, and mechanical
Eletromagnetic energy traveling in transverse waves is?
That is called an electromagnetic wave.
What are transverse waves?
A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y-zplane.
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
Do you carry more energy in a transverse wave?
Yes,.
How does a transverse wave cause matter to move?

Type of wave is energy transmitted in a definite direction and with a definite speed?
A transverse wave would cause the displacement to be perpendicular to the direction. They will also be moving at a constant speed.
What is it that moves from source to receiver and wave motion?
The wavelength of a transverse wave is the distance between successive crests.
A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
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.
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
Does a transverse wave carry matter or energy or both?
I don't ow
What type of energy does a transverse wave carry?
kinetic, electromagnetic, and mechanical
