Transverse Waves

waves that propagate in a direction perpendicular to the plane containing either the displacements and oscillatory velocities of the particles (for mechanical waves) or the intensity vectors of the electric and magnetic fields (for electromagnetic waves). Electromagnetic waves in free space are an example of transverse waves.
