In physics, transverse refers to a wave that oscillates perpendicular to the direction of its propagation. This means that the disturbance of the medium caused by the wave occurs in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.

What are the different types of waves in physics and how do they differ from each other?
In physics, there are two main types of waves: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of the wave. Transverse waves have crests and troughs, while longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions. These differences in motion and structure make transverse and longitudinal waves distinct from each other.
Are transverse and congressional waves a type of mechanical wave?
A transverse wave may, or may not, be a mechanical wave (electromagnetic waves are also transverse).I don't know about congressional waves; you may want to ask a representative of congress in your country.
Does a wave in a lasso travel as a transverse or longitudinal wave?
It travels as a transverse wave. A longitudinal wave would mean the the rope is stretching and compressing. The fact that you see displacement perpendicular to the rope means it is transverse.
What does transverse mean in sound?
In sound, transverse refers to a wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This is in contrast to longitudinal waves, where the particles move parallel to the wave's direction. Examples of transverse waves in sound include vibrations on a string or the surface of a drum.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.

A transverse line. Does transverse mean the same thing as perpendicular?
no

What do you mean by physics?
As in science physics.
What does the medical terminology combining form -transverse mean?
Transverse means acting, lying, or being across: set crosswise
What does the medical term transverse mean?
Transverse in medical terms means across, or right-to-left. In contrast, longitudinal means up-and-down.
What does transverse and star mean?
is a star in a sky and stay across the central

What does mean to take about the nature and scope of physics
Is gamma waves longitudinal or transverse?
Light waves are Transverse Waves. More information: http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:fGrx-3gDmcIJ:www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/education/bitesize/standard/other/sos/physics/waves/answerwaves_30.shtml+%22light+waves+are+transverse%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=12&gl=us
Are microwaves longitudinal or transverse?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are therefore transverse waves.
