Transverse Wave 1
Transverse Wave 1 : Also called: distortional wave: A wave in which the direction of propagation of the wave is normal to the displacements of the medium, e.g., a vibrating string. The gravity wave in which fluid parcels move in circular orbits is an example of a mixed transverse-longitudinal wave. The Rossby wave is also mixed, except in the case of zero current speed, when it is a transverse wave. Compare longitudinal wave
