transverse wave
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
Transverse
transverse waves
That sounds like the description of a transverse wave.
A transverse wave are waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel.
B. at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P

Transverse
When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.
