QUESTION - __________________ Define transverse waves and write two examples ? __________________

Answer 1

$\huge\underline{\overline{\mid{\bold{\red{ANSWER-}}\mid}}}$

TRANSEVERSE WAVE-

In this type of wave the particles move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

• They do not cause any pressure variations in the medium in which they travel.
• They move through alternate crest and troughs.

For example, Radio wave, light wave.

Answer 2

Answer:

In a transverse wave, the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. Examples of transverse waves include vibrations on a string and ripples on the surface of water. We can make a horizontal transverse wave by moving the slinky vertically up and down.
