Transverse waves are types of mechanical waves where particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string, where the particles of the string move up and down while the wave moves horizontally. Electromagnetic waves are also considered transverse waves.
