transverse wave
It is a rarefaction.
Particles in matter move back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave due to the transverse nature of the wave. This motion is perpendicular to the wave direction and is characteristic of electromagnetic waves such as light. The vibration of particles allows the wave energy to propagate through the material in a transverse direction.
Transverse waves move in a direction perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave itself. This means that the particles in the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves.
S Waves
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.
Transverse Waves
In a transverse wave, the particles in the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave's travel. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves.
The wave is a transverse wave.
secondary waves
A transverse wave.
secondary waves
The wave in which particles move back and forth at right angles to the direction of travel is called a transverse wave. This type of wave is commonly observed in phenomena such as light and electromagnetic waves.
