Answer:

Transverse Waves do not require a medium to travel

Explanation:

Two major types of energy waves are longitudinal waves and transverse waves. A longitudinal wave is a wave where the particles of matter in the medium move in a parallel direction to the motion of the wave. This shows the energy transport and particle movement. The particles of matter only move temporarily. A wave is transferred energy it does not transfer particles of matter. A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of matter in the medium move in a perpendicular direction to the motion of the wave.
