transverse wave

Light is an example of a transverse wave.

Longitudinal waves have the same basic characteristics as transverse waves.

The solution to the problem Huygens had faced was then resolved by a transverse wave theory.

Consider a traveling transverse wave (which may be a pulse) on a string (the medium).

In general, transverse waves occur as a pair of orthogonal polarizations.

On the other hand, gravitational waves in both theories are transverse waves.

When the water molecules move up and down at a right angle to the direction of the wave, it's called a transverse wave.

The waves created by the ship consist of divergent and transverse waves.

Compressions and rarefactions move along a travelling transverse wave.

Dax couldn't find the dye marker, and the angle of the transverse waves had altered.

Transverse waves have two parts-the crest and the trough.

A ripple in a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized as transverse waves.

Each of these fields, the electric and the magnetic, exhibits two-dimensional transverse wave behavior, just like the waves on a string.

Such reflections are avoided with transverse waves.

Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

In physics, there are standing waves, longitudinal waves and transverse waves, to name just a few.

But the shadows concealed another hazard, long transverse waves in the ice - 'The Bone-shaker'!

We're starting to get some patterns here between the angle of transverse waves to the current and the location of the exit point."

Two-dimensional transverse waves exhibit a phenomenon called polarization.

The energy associated with the transverse wave system travels at one half the phase velocity or the group velocity of the waves.

With his apparatus configuration, the electric and magnetic fields would radiate away from the wires as transverse waves.

Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate at a right angle to the direction of the wave or energy being carried by the medium.

However, because of gravity, the water or medium is pulled back down and the repetition of this cycle creates the transverse wave motion.

Are you referring to transverse waves (up and down) or compression waves (back and forth)?

Transverse waves have crests and troughs.
