In the transverse or shear wave, the particles oscillate at a right angle or<br />

transverse to the direction of propagation. Shear waves require an<br />

acoustically solid material <strong>for</strong> effective propagation, and there<strong>for</strong>e, are not<br />

effectively propagated in materials such as liquids or gasses. Shear waves<br />

are relatively weak when compared to longitudinal waves. In fact, shear<br />

waves are usually generated in materials using some of the energy from<br />

longitudinal waves.<br />
