Question
In which type of wave do the particles of the medium
vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation? ÂSolution
In transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.  For example, waves on a string or light waves are transverse.  In contrast, in longitudinal waves (like sound), particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
