why cant transverse waves travel through gases ?

Question

anonymous · Answer

For transverse waves the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. A ripple on a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized transverse waves. Transverse waves cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.

well yea.. cause the wave will always propogate in the direction of the vibration.. so 

its impossible to create transverse waves INDISE water right?!.. liek for example deep deep in the ocean..

anonymous · Answer

but that's not the correct answer the answer will be that
 in transverse waves cannot be produced in gases because the particles of matter in gases are very far away from each other so the vibration cannot be carried forward as transverse waves vibrate up and down their mean position ..

anonymous · Answer

So you mean.. deep in water transverse waves can be created?

anonymous · Answer

yes offcourse

any doubt MASHY ? if any , plz clarify
