Transverse Waves

The right medium will complement the artist's subject and improve the overall quality of the artwork; the wrong medium can detract from it.
You make sure that all the wheels are pointing in the right direction,
We are talking about the seisimc waves in an earthquake. The difference in the speed of travel of the two waves has to do with what has to happen to the medium (the ground or the earth) to transmit the energy of the seismic wave. Let's look. The P wave is a longitudinal wave or a compression wave. The force is applied in the direction that the wave is traveling. The ground must move in that direction. Ground or earth is pretty incompressible, so the energy is transferred pretty quickly. In the S wave, the medium is displaced in a transverse (up and down - compared to the line of travel) way, and the medium must shear or "move away" from the material right next to it to cause the shear and transmit the wave. This takes more time, and this is why the S wave moves more slowly than the P wave in seismic events. Need a link to seismic waves? You got it. Wikipedia has a good article, and the pictures are worth the trip over to view them.
Valves in the heart help to keep the blood flowing in the right direction.
Transverse
If the medium vibrates in a transverse wave with twice the force at right angles to the direction the wave travels, it means the amplitude of the wave is doubled in that direction. If the wave also travels parallel to the direction it moves with half the energy, it means that the wave carries less energy forward because some of the energy is directed towards vibrating the medium at right angles.
Transverse waves occur when the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In these waves, the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of energy transport. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
B. at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Waves occur when energy is transferred through a medium by vibrating particles. The motion of the individual particles in the medium is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave itself is traveling. This type of wave is called a transverse wave.
A transverse wave.
Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This causes the energy to be transmitted perpendicular to the wave's movement.
Transverse waves are the type of waves in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves. This means that the oscillation of the particles is at right angles to the direction of energy transfer. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves.
That's correct. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. This motion creates crests and troughs in the wave as it propagates through the medium.
Transverse waves are a type of wave in which the oscillations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
A transverse wave is a mechanical wave that moves at right angles to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the oscillations of the medium through which the wave is traveling are perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
Transverse waves. In these waves, particles in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, causing energy to be transferred at right angles to the wave motion. Examples include electromagnetic waves and ripples on water.
