can any one tell me why transverse waves can't pass through water?

Answer 1

Classically, transverse waves only occur in a solid or between two different media. A fluid just can't support them.

This was why people believed that the luminiferous ether was a solid (back before relativity when they believed in ether)

So you can have transverse waves on the surface, but not in the water. Only longitudinal waves--like compression/sound.

Answer 2

Where did you get that idea? Light is a trasverse wave. It goes thru water.
