The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
Energy in a transverse wave travels perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
A transverse wave travels perpendicular to the direction in which the individual particle of the medium is vibrating. This means that the wave's energy is transmitted horizontally or vertically, while the particles of the medium move in a different direction.
False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P
water travels as a transverse wave (meaning that the water molecules move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the path of the wave. the molecules move up and down while the wave moves in horizontal direction).

The quaggas of the wave, which are the midpoints, start to spasm out of control.

Transverse Wave
False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
A transverse wave travels in a straight line but wavers up and down. the high point is the crest and the low point is the trough
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
just think for a second... what does a transverse wave look like and what does visible light waves look like? the same? yes. yes it is transverse not longitudinal.
