Define transverse waves. Discuss its motion with the help of an example. Also define the following terms for transverse waves: Crest, Trough, Wavelength, Frequency, and Time Period.
Transverse Waves: A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Example: Water waves in a pond, where the water particles move up and down while the wave moves forward. Key Terms for Transverse Waves: Crest: The highest point of a transverse wave. Trough: The lowest point … Read more
