Here's a breakdown:
* Transverse Wave: The particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. Imagine shaking a rope up and down – the wave travels along the rope, but the rope itself moves up and down.
* Examples of Transverse Waves: Light waves, electromagnetic waves, and waves on a string are all examples of transverse waves.
