Waves: Transverse Waves

The video tutorial explains the commonality between x-rays, microwaves, and radio waves, identifying them as electromagnetic waves. It then illustrates the concept of transverse waves using a rope, highlighting the perpendicular movement of the wave and the medium. Finally, it discusses how seismic waves are generated during earthquakes, transferring energy through the Earth's surface.

Describe the relationship between the direction of a transverse wave and its movement.

What causes earthquakes and how is energy released?
