Expert Answer
Dear student,
Transverse waves:
1. Particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.
2. Ex: Spring tied at one end, allowed to move up and down.
3. As the wave is moving in one direction, it creates disturbance in a different direction.
Ex: Water waves cause disturbance in up-down direction though it travels towards one direction.
4. We can polarise a transverse wave.
5. All waves travel in one plane.
6. They have physical peaks and troughs.
Hope this helps.
Thanking you
