a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction which the wave moves
a wave in which the particles of the medium are displaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of energy transport
a wave traveling one way, and when a traveling wave bounces off another end it can become a standing wave along a string, if it is kept driven
a wave in which the vibrations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving
When the direction of the wave is perpendicular to the medium. (light)
The amplitude of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of motion.
In a transverse wave, the material moves at right angles to the direction of motion of the wave. Ripples on a pond are an example of transverse waves. What are Waves
A wave in which the direction of vibration of the particles is at right angles to the direction in which the wave is travelling.
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. The particles do not move along with the wave; they simply oscillate up and down about their individual equilibrium positions as the wave passes by. http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/waves/wavemotion.html
A wave where the disturbance of the material is in a direction which is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
any wave in which the medium moves at right angles to the wave direction.
A wave motion in which the substance of the medium is displaced in a direction at right angles to the direction of propagation of the wave.
solenoidal plane wave perpendicular to the propagation direction in the sense that if = 0exp( · − ), where is the wave vector, then × Electromagnetic waves are examples of transverse waves. Acoustic waves in solids have both irrotational and solenoidal components that propagate with different phase velocities. Compare longitudinal wave.
A transverse wave is a wave that causes a disturbance in the medium perpendicular to the direction it advances. For example: if a wave moves along the x-axis, its disturbances are in the yz-plane. In other words, it causes medium disturbances across the two-dimensional plane that it is travelling in.
