Yes, if one person holds the rope still whilst the other swings the rope from up and down a transverse wave will be made. If the correct frequency is achieved, a standing wave may be created.

Why waves in a rope are called transverse wave?
ts of the rope vibrate movements to the direction in which the waves travel
How do transverse waves produce on a rope?
It makes it tight
How transverse waves can be produced on a rope?
Lay a long length of rope on the ground, straight out. Grab one end and jerk it upward and downward. A wave will pass down towards the other end of the rope, this is a transverse wave.
The type of waves formed by shaking a rope are called?
the answer is longitudinal wavethe above answer would be incorrect. The correct answer is transverse wave.
Are waves on a rope and light waves are two examples of longitudinal waves?
No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.
Are waves in a rope called transverse waves because the segments of the rope vibrate in the direction in which the waves travel?
No. "Transverse" means that the vibration is at right angles to the direction in which the wave advances.

How does transverse waves move?
When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.
Can transverse waves be produced on a rope?

Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Are waves on a rope and light waves are two examples of longitudinal waves?
No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.
What are transverse waves made up of?
Tsunamis
Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
Compare and contrast 3 types of waves?
Transverse (rope),Longitudinal (spring),and Surface (Water & Air) waves
