Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

A transverse wave is a moving wave that is made up of oscillations happening perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

• Examples of transverse waves include:

1. ripples on the surface of water.
2. vibrations in a guitar string.
3. a Mexican wave in a sports stadium.
4. electromagnetic waves – eg light waves, microwaves, radio waves.
5. seismic S-waves.

Answer 2

$\begin{lgathered}\boxed{\begin{minipage}{6cm}\bf{Transverse wave is the motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance}\end{minipage}}\end{lgathered}$    

$\begin{lgathered}\boxed{\begin{minipage}{6cm}\bf{A transverse wave is a moving wave that is made up of oscillations happening perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer}\end{minipage}}\end{lgathered}$

$\begin{lgathered}\boxed{\begin{minipage}{6cm}\bf{In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel. Transverse waves are characterized by peaks and valleys, called crests and troughs.}\end{minipage}}\end{lgathered}$

$\begin{lgathered}\boxed{\begin{minipage}{6cm}\bf{Some examples of transverse waves are: The ripples on the surface of the water. The secondary waves of an earthquake. Electromagnetic waves. The waves on a string.}\end{minipage}}\end{lgathered}$
