We had discussed
propagation of such waves in Chapter 14 of Class XI textbook Since the
displacement (which is along the y direction) is at right angles to the
direction of propagation of the wave, we have what is known as a
transverse wave Also, since the displacement is in the y direction, it is
often referred to as a y-polarised wave Since each point on the string
moves on a straight line, the wave is also referred to as a linearly polarised
