S waves move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that S waves move in a side-to-side or horizontal motion as they travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.
A wave moving at a parallel angle is called a transverse wave. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. An example is a wave on a string where the string moves up and down while the wave travels horizontally.
Transverse wave. In this type of wave, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Classical example of transverse wave is electromagnetic wave.
A wave moving at a right angle to its medium is called a transverse wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, electromagnetic waves, and waves on a string.

C. wave lines propagating around an object as they move shoreward. Wave refraction occurs when waves bend as they approach shallow water or obstacles along the coastline, causing them to change direction.
secondary waves
A transverse wave is a mechanical wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples include light waves and water waves.
A sound wave is a longitudinal mechanical wave, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This distinguishes it from a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the wave propagation.
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.
