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.

Is a slinky wave a transverse or a longitudinal wave?

A slinky wave is a transverse wave. Transverse waves are perpendicular to the direction the wave travels, and in the case of a slinky wave, the coils move back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the wave's propagation.


What type of wave that travels in one direction but the energy travels perpendicular to this direction?

This describes a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving. Examples include light waves, waves on a string, and electromagnetic waves.
