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

Explanation:

In transverse waves too, the particles do not move along with the wave. They move up and down about their equilibrium positions. Some examples of transverse waves are: The ripples on the surface of the water.

Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves.
