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 is the highest point of the transfer wave called?

The highest point of a transfer wave is called the crest. It is the peak of the wave where the water is at its highest level.


In what direction is the wave propagating?

The wave is propagating in the direction of its energy transfer.


Is it true that radiation is the transfer of energy by electromsgnetic wave?

Electromagnetic wave, yes.


A wave in a rope is a transverse wave but a sound wave is an wave?

A wave in a rope is a transverse wave because the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves because particles move parallel to the direction of energy transfer.

When transferring mechanical waves what do they not transfer?

Mechanical waves do not transfer matter; they transfer energy and momentum. This means that while the wave causes particles in the medium to oscillate, the particles themselves do not travel with the wave as it propagates.


In a sound wave why does the vibrations and energy transfer go in the same direction?

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave.thus the vibratoins and energy transfer go in the same direction


Do waves transfer or transport matter?

Waves transfer energy without transporting matter. The particles in a wave oscillate back and forth but do not move along with the wave itself. This is known as wave propagation.


What type of wave can transfer energy without medium?

the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.
