Transverse+Waves

By: Kim Regester In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.The particles in a transverse wave do not move along with the wave, they just move up and down their individual equilibrium positions as the wave passes by. Examples of transverse waves include audience waves and electromagnetic waves, as well as water waves. By: Kim Regester



In transverse waves, the medium moves back and forth perpendicular to the direction that the wave propagates.
