What is a transverse wave?
Transverse waves are also called water waves because they move up and down. A transverse wave’s amplitude is half the distance between the crest and the trough. Some examples of transverse waves are: heat, light, and radio waves. Look here for more information: http://www.tpub.com/content/neets/14182/css/14182_17.
