Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The wave in which the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation is known as transverse wave.

The diagram of transverse wave is shown below.

Glencoe Physical Science 2012 Student Edition (Glencoe Science) (McGraw-Hill Education), Chapter 9, Problem 40R

  Figure-(1)

In Figure-(1), the diagram of transverse wave is shown and crest, trough, amplitude and wavelength is labeled.

The time period is defined as the interval in which a cycle is completed and the frequency is defined as number of vibrations per second.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the diagram is shown above.
