The 10 pages that link to Transverse wave, each with the reason it gives.

• PolarizationNarrower topic: Polarization describes the orientation of these transverse oscillations.

• AmplitudeRelated: Its displacement from equilibrium is often drawn directly as wave amplitude.

• Sound waveCompared with: Ordinary sound in fluids is longitudinal, though solids can also support shear sound waves.

• Augustin-Jean FresnelNarrower topic: Fresnel’s account of polarization required light waves to oscillate transversely.

• Linear polarizationRelated: Electromagnetic waves in free space are transverse, allowing a field direction to define polarization.

• Wave theory of lightNarrower topic: Light’s transverse character accounts for polarization.

• Longitudinal waveCompared with: Its particle motion is perpendicular, rather than parallel, to propagation.

• Sound pressureCompared with: It contrasts with the longitudinal pressure waves typical of sound in fluids.

• Circular polarizationRelated: The electric field rotates within the transverse plane in circular polarization.

• Mechanical waveBroader topic: This is another basic mode, supported by shear resistance in solids.
