A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction the wave travels. When a drop hits still water and ripples spread outward while particles move up and down, it demonstrates a simple transverse wave pattern. Common examples include light waves, water ripples, waves…
