Could you produce a transverse wave with a rope?

Yes. A transverse wave is one in which the motion is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation which is exactly what results from plucking an elastic rope (think: guitar string).


What kind of motion produces a transverse wave when using a coiled spring?

mechanical wave


What source of energy cause a transverse wave?

A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium vibrates at right angles to the direction of its propagation.There is no one unique source of energy that will produce a wave with this property.


How does the medium vibrate in a transverse wave?

during the propagation of traverse wave the molecules of medium vibrate up and down from mean position in the form of crest and trough.Example:wave in spring,wave in waterWater is the typical example given, but the water wave is a compressive wave at a boundary -- sort of a half transverse wave. Light is the physic's transverse wave. It too should be looked at suspiciously.

How can a transverse wave produce 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.
