Answer:

A transverse wave is characterized by PEAKS and DIPS

Explanation:

A transverse wave is a wave that moves in a direction where its movement is at right angles(90°) or perpendicular to the direction at which the wave is moving.

The movement of a transverse wave is called Oscillations. A transverse wave is characterized by PEAKS and DIPS that are referred to as CRESTS and TROUGHS.

Examples of transverse wave are:

a) Light and Sound waves which are electromagnetic waves.

b) Waters in a stretched string

c) Water waves that occur at the surface of the water.
