Transverse Wave is a wave that oscillates perpendicular to the axis along which the wave travel or a transverse wave is a wave in which vibrating element moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of advance of the wave.

Example: The Waves in bodies of water are also transverse waves.

What is an example of a tranverse wave?

An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string when it is plucked or shaken. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular (sideways) to the direction of the wave propagation. This causes crests and troughs to form as the wave travels along the medium.

What is the angle of a tranverse wave in vibrating and direction?

The angle of a transverse wave is the angle at which the wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction of travel. It represents the up-and-down motion of the wave as it propagates through the medium. The angle remains constant as the wave moves forward.


What is longigtudinal wave and tranverse wave?

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, like compressions and rarefactions in a spring. A transverse wave is a wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation, like the motion of a string being plucked.


In what type of wave do the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the wave?

Transverse waves exhibit particle movement perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This means that as the wave moves horizontally, the particles oscillate vertically. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
