Lines that meet at a right angle, as in a transverse wave, are perpendicular to each other. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation. This characteristic of transverse waves allows for the wave to exhibit properties such as polarization, where the oscillations are confined to a single plane.
