Question
what types of waves carry energy at a right angle or perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow? select answer
Brief Explanations
In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), transverse waves are defined as waves where the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular (at a right angle) to the direction of energy flow. Longitudinal waves vibrate parallel to the energy flow direction. So the type of wave that carries energy at a right angle to the direction of energy flow is a transverse wave.
