I'm sorry, I am not able to draw diagrams. However, I can describe a transverse wave for you.
A transverse wave is a type of wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This means that the oscillations of the particles are up and down, while the wave itself moves horizontally.
Imagine a wave on a string - as the wave travels along the string, the particles of the string move up and down, creating a series of crests and troughs. This is a visual representation of a transverse wave.

Parts of a Transverse Wave
- Crest: The highest point of the wave. - Trough: The lowest point of the wave. - Amplitude: The vertical distance between the crest and the trough. - Wavelength: The horizontal distance between two consecutive crests or troughs. - Frequency: The number of waves that pass a given point in one second. - Period: The time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point. - Wave velocity: The speed at which the wave travels.
