Transverse
Explanation:
There are two types of waves, depending on the direction of the oscillation:
- Transverse wave: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave - examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves
- Longitudinal wave: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave - examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves - consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic field that propagate in a vacuum at the speed of light - so they are an example of transverse wave.
