It vibrates up and down.
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
For transverse waves, the vibration of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. For longitudinal waves, the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. In this case, the particles of the medium will vibrate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion.
Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Longitudinal waves have particles that vibrate in the same direction that the wave is moving.

Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
tranverse
B. at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
In a transverse wave, the particles of matter in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, which means they move up and down or side to side. This is unlike in a longitudinal wave where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, moving back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave's motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves, as they propagate through air by causing the air particles to compress and rarefy in the direction of the wave.
