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.

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 are transverse stationary waves produced in a stretched string?
When a transverse progressive wave gets superimposed by the reflected wave then stationary transverse waves are produced
Are surface waves transverse or longitudal?
If waves are produced on the surface of water then such a wave is transverse in nature. If we deal with surface waves of radio propagation then those electromagnetic waves too are transverse in nature.
What waves can you produce in a rope by snapping it up and down?
Transverse waves are the waves produced by moving a rope up and down. These are the types of waves seen in the ocean and in electromagnetic radiation (EM has two sets of waves perpendicular to one another and 90 degrees out of phase, for the electric and magnetic fields). Longitudinal waves are different...they are compression waves seen in sound.

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.
Why are the transverse waves produced by an earthquake known as secondary waves?
The Transverse waves show up second in time, they are slower than the Primary Waves.
Which types of waves are produced in sonometer experiment?
stationary transverse waves

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 radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
