Transverse waves are characterized by the displacement of particles within a medium perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.
The key features of a transverse wave Particle vibration where unlike longitudinal waves where particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagation, particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to it. As the wind blows across the surface of water, it creates ripples and waves. The water particles vibrate up and down as the wave energy travels across the water's surface
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of the wave. It represents the distance traveled by the wave during one complete cycle of vibration.
