Key Stage 3
Meaning
A transverse wave is a wave in which the vibration is at right angles to the direction of the wave.
 |
| A single transverse wave on a string. |
About Transverse Waves
There are two transverse waves you should know:
- Water Waves - Waves on the surface of the water.
- Electromagnetic Waves - Waves that include; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma-rays.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
A transverse wave is a wave in which the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave.
