TRANSVERSE WAVE –
The wave formed because of the oscillation perpendicular to the disturbance is called transverse wave. For example light wave, water wave, etc.
In transverse wave, particles oscillate in up and down directions; relative their normal position of rest. Particles of medium create elevation above the normal position or line of zero to the surface of medium and depression below the normal position in the course of oscillation. The elevation is called crest and the depression is called trough.
