∙ 9y agoTransverse waves move the medium perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This means the particles of the medium oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
If the medium vibrates in a transverse wave with twice the force at right angles to the direction the wave travels, it means the amplitude of the wave is doubled in that direction. If the wave also travels parallel to the direction it moves with half the energy, it means that the wave carries less energy forward because some of the energy is directed towards vibrating the medium at right angles.
A transverse wave.
In a transverse wave, the particles in the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave's travel. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves.
Transverse waves move in a direction perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave itself. This means that the particles in the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves.

Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P

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.
