Answered by GPT 3.5
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. This means that the particles move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through them. The motion of the particles is what creates the oscillating pattern that characterizes transverse waves.
