what are the properties of transverse ways? through which mediums can it propogate?can it propogate through gas?if no, then how light waves propagate through gas even if it is transverse?
Dear Student,
Kindly post you queries in different threads to get the answers of all the queries.
1. Properties of transverse waves :
a. In the transverse wave motion, the individual particles of the medium execute S.H.M. about their mean position in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave motion.
b. A transverse wave travels through a medium in the form of crests and troughs.
2. Transverse waves are not produced in liquids and gases. They are produced only in solids.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
