Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is transverse wave?It is a wave where ____
A
____ the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave energy propagation.
B
____ the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of the Ka’abah.
C
____ the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of the North.
D
____ the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of your heart.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A transverse wave is a moving wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a transverse wave, the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. Examples of transverse waves include vibrations on a string and ripples on the surface of water. We can make a horizontal transverse wave by moving the slinky vertically up and down.

Detailed explanation-3: -A transverse wave is a type of progressive wave. The direction of propagation of a transverse wave is always perpendicular to its direction of vibration. Few specific types of transverse waves can travel through a vacuum. An electromagnetic wave or light wave is an example of a transverse.

Detailed explanation-4: -A transverse wave is the wave in which every particle moves perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Besides, A longitudinal wave is the wave in which every particle moves in the direction of propagation of the wave.

Detailed explanation-5: -EXPLANATION: Sound waves are longitudinal waves and light waves are transverse waves.
