In a transverse wave, either the matter or the disturbance moves at right angles to the direction in which the wave advances. Please note that not all waves involve moving matter. In the case of an electromagnetic for example, the change that is propagating is a disturbance in the electric and magnetic fields.

What is the type of mechanical wave in which the energy runs at right angles to the wave?
Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This causes the energy to be transmitted perpendicular to the wave's movement.
What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
In what direction does a longitudinal wave move and how does this movement differ from that of a transverse wave?
A longitudinal wave moves in the same direction as the wave energy, while a transverse wave moves perpendicular to the wave energy. This means that the particles in a longitudinal wave move back and forth parallel to the wave direction, while the particles in a transverse wave move up and down perpendicular to the wave direction.
Is an ocean wave a transverse wave?
Water waves are a special example of a combination of transverse and longitudinal oscillation. The individual particles in a water wave move with a circular motion, therefore they have both a vertical and horizontal component to their movement through the wave i.e up and down (Transverse) and side to side (Longitudinal) components.
Is it true that matter in medium moves in perpendicular in transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This means the particles oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through the medium. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
Is a rope wave a longitudinal wave?
No, rope wave is a transverse wave, because the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of movement of wave.

What is a transverse and a longitudinal wave?
It's the plain of movement i.e. transverse and longitudinal waves oscillate in transverse and longitudinal plane respectively. in 3d space electromagnetic energy is represented by oscillating pattern, that's why the name is wave like light wave. "Atul ashish"
Is sound a transverse wave?
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Is light a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Light is transverse in nature.
Is light a compression wave or a transverse?
A transverse wave
