Transverse wave, movement in which all focuses on a wave sway along ways at right edges to the course of the wave's development. Surface swells on water, seismic S (auxiliary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are instances of transverse waves. Waves come in two assortments.
Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves. Waves come in two varieties.
