In transverse waves, the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of wave travel.

Examples of transverse waves include:

  • ripples on the surface of water
  • vibrations in a guitar string
  • a Mexican wave in a sports stadium
  • electromagnetic waves - eg light waves, microwaves, radio waves
  • seismic S-waves
