TE waves

transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave’s advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light ) waves are examples of transverse waves.

Examples Of Transverse Waves

Examples of transverse waves include:

Electromagnetic waves are also transverse waves because the direction of particle displacement is also perpendicular to the direction of movement , producing the waveform of visible light, and other types of electromagnetic radiation.
