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:

A transverse wave is a moving wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation.

A simple example is given by the waves that can be created on a horizontal length of string by anchoring one end and moving the other end up and down.
