Transverse waves move by vibrating perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles in the medium oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S waves.

when the particles of the medium do simply harmonic vibrations oscillating perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the disturbance or wave then it is said to be transverse wave. Example: waves produced on the free surface of water by dropping stones on it
