**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Transverse Waves**: - A transverse wave is characterized by particle motion that is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. For example, if the wave travels horizontally, the particles of the medium move up and down. 2. **Medium Requirement**: - For transverse waves to exist, the medium must have the ability to return to its original shape after being disturbed. This property is known as elasticity. ...
