What Are The Properties Of Transverse Wave?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillations occur perpendicular to the direction of energy transferring. It means that if wave moves in x-direction then oscillations are in up and down direction. Movement of transverse waves is known as two-dimensional movement and these waves also show linear polarization. Polarization occurs because of this two dimensional movement of waves. Some of the examples of transverse waves include seismic S (secondary) waves, electric (E) and magnetic (M) fields in the case of electromagentic waves.
