Want this question answered?
the answer is longitudinal wavethe above answer would be incorrect. The correct answer is transverse wave.
The medium of a wave is the matter a wave travels through.So yeah, if you wiggle a rope, the medium isn't the air around the rope... the medium is the rope itself!
The options "medium" and "rope" are correct. "Medium" is the most general term for whatever carries a wave; a "rope" is one possible type of medium.
It travels as a transverse wave. A longitudinal wave would mean the the rope is stretching and compressing. The fact that you see displacement perpendicular to the rope means it is transverse.

a mechanical wave.
No, rope wave is a transverse wave, because the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of movement of wave.

The seismic wave is influenced by the shaking source dimensions of all directions. This comes from the shaking of an earthquake.
The rope is the source of wave pulse.

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.
