In seismology, the $S$ wave is a transverse wave. As an $S$ wave travels through the Earth, the relative motion between the $S$ wave and the particle is

Suppose that the electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum is

$E=(3.1 \mathrm{N} {\mathrm{C}}^{-1})\cos \left[\right(1.8 \mathrm{rad} {\mathrm{m}}^{-1})y+(5.47\mathrm{times};106 \mathrm{rad} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}\left)t\right]$
