Question
- identify what is the direction of a transverse wave relative to its direction of motion?
Brief Explanations
A transverse wave is defined by the fact that the oscillations of the wave (such as the up - and - down motion of a wave on a string) are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is moving (the direction of energy transfer). This is a fundamental characteristic of transverse waves.
