What are transverse waves? Give illustrative examples of such waves.

Explanation

Transverse waves `:` In a wave motion, the vibration of the particles and the direction of the propagation of the waves are perpendicular to each other, the waves are said to be transverse waves.
Illustrations `:`
(1) Waves produced in the stretched strings are transverse.
(2) When a stretched string is plucked , the waves travel along the string.
(3) But the particles in the strong vibrate in the direction perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.
(4) They can propagate only in solids and on the surface of the liquids. ltbr. (5) Ex `:` Light waves, surface water waves.
