    Unlike a longitudinal wave, a transverse wave moves about, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The particles in a transverse wave do not travel along the direction of propagation, but only oscillate up and down on its equilibrium position. With this, the displacement can be determined by measuring (in the case of electronic waves, using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer) and setting the desired units to measure the wave in.
