A wave in which the motion of the material is perpendicular to the motion of the wave is?

Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This type of wave is commonly seen in electromagnetic waves and in water waves.


What are the three different wave types?

The three different wave types are transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves. Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, and surface waves travel along the boundary between two different mediums.

Are radio waves a type of mechanical wave or a type of electromagnetic wave?

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave. They do not require a medium to travel through and can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.

What is the type of wave in which the disturbance moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?

The type of wave in which the disturbance moves at right angles to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves (like light) and waves on a string.
