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

Can longitudinal waves be made from rope?

Yes, longitudinal waves can be created in a rope by moving one end of the rope back and forth. As the end moves, it creates compressions and rarefactions along the length of the rope, propagating a longitudinal wave. This type of wave can also be seen in sound waves, where the particles vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave travel.


A wave in a rope is a transverse wave but a sound wave is an wave?

A wave in a rope is a transverse wave because the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves because particles move parallel to the direction of energy transfer.


Does a wave in a lasso travel as a transverse or longitudinal wave?

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.


Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?

Sound waves are longitudinal.


Is a transverse wave an example of an longitudinal wave?

No, they are different types of wave. Transverse waves vibrate across the direction of motion, like the waves you get when you shake a rope. Longitudinal waves vibrate back and forth along the direction of motion like a sound wave.


How does the propagation of a longitudinal wave sound differ from that of a transverse wave?

The propagation of a longitudinal wave creates sound that moves in the same direction as the wave, like a slinky being pushed and pulled. In contrast, a transverse wave creates sound that moves perpendicular to the wave, like a rope being shaken side to side.


What is another name for a longitudinal a longitudinal wave?

A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal 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.


Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?

Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.


What type of wave does sound travel in?

Longitudinal Wave


Is longitudinal a sound wave?

A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave


Is sound a longitudinal wave?

Yes, sound is a longitudinal wave.
