When waves travel perpendicular to the disturbance, they are known as transverse waves. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
No, transverse waves cannot travel through empty space because they require a medium or material to propagate. Examples of mediums that transverse waves can travel through include solids, liquids, and gases, but not empty space.
Transverse waves typically travel at speeds that vary depending on the medium they are traveling through. For example, transverse waves travel faster through solids compared to liquids or gases. In general, the speed of transverse waves is determined by the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity.
Yes, transverse mechanical waves can pass through gases. Examples include seismic S-waves, which are transverse waves that can travel through the Earth's crust and mantle, and sound waves, which are also transverse waves that can travel through air and other gases.
Yes, transverse waves can travel through space. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, are an example of transverse waves that can propagate through the vacuum of space without the need for a medium.

Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
Transverse waves will move across the direction of travel.
they are transverse waves, they can travel through a vacuum,
Yes, an infrared wave is a transverse wave. Transverse waves are characterized by oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, and infrared waves exhibit this type of motion as they propagate through space.
Seismic waves can be either transverse or compressional. P-waves are compressional waves that travel fastest, while S-waves are transverse waves that travel slower. Both types of waves are generated by earthquakes and used to study the Earth's interior.
Yes, transverse waves require a medium to travel through. Examples include water waves, which need water as a medium, and electromagnetic waves such as light, which can travel through a vacuum.
