Question

How fast do transverse waves travel?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

Draw the required diagram of the transverse wave

  1. A transverse wave has oscillations perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
  2. The wave oscillates along the y-axis and the z-axis if the direction of propagation is along the x-axis.
  3. The formula can be used to determine the transverse wave's speed.

v=fλ

Here, v is the transverse wave's speed, f is the wave's frequency, and λ is the wave's wavelength.
