When the direction of vibration of the particles of a medium is perpendicular to the direction of travel of a wave the wave transmitted is known as
Answer Details
The wave transmitted in which the direction of vibration of the particles of a medium is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave is called a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the particles of the medium occur at right angles to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include waves on a string, electromagnetic waves, and seismic S-waves.
