Answer:
Transverse waves are waves in physics whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Light is an example of transverse wave.
The displacement of a particle at any point p of the medium and any time t (seconds) will be
S(p,t) = A u sin((t - (p - o)•d/v)/T + φ)
where
A is the wave's amplitude or strength
T is its period
v is the speed of propagation
φ is its phase at o.
They can be either electromagnetic or mechanical in nature. It kind of looks like a squiggly line with peaks and valleys, which we call crests and troughs.
