What is a transverse wave?

• the particles of a medium that travel perpendicular to a wave

• the particles of a medium that are fast

• the particles of a medium that travel parallel to a wave

• the particles of a medium that you can touch

What are transverse waves?

• Waves that move in a circular motion

• Waves that move parallel to the direction of energy transfer

• Waves that move perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. They travel in all directions.

• Waves that do not require a medium to travel
