Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction in which the wave is traveling. This type of motion creates crests and troughs in the wave pattern. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water ripples, and the motion of a string when plucked.
