Besides that, U must also appreciate that waves is a transfer of energy without transfer of matter.
Wave has two type :
- Transverse wave
- Longitudinal wave
So what is transverse waves?
A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction which the wave moves.
Hmmm..still tak faham?
Ok.. to understand it better, just imagine buah kelapa yang hanyut dibawa ombak. This buah kelapa can represents motion of the particles. Buah kelapa turun & naik .i.e this motion is similar as moving perpendicular to the direction of the wave. (Pependicular = at right angles)
If u stil dont get it, look at this animation.
U can see the motion of the particles moving up & down..pependicularly
