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.
Actually, waves on a rope are an example of transverse waves, not longitudinal waves. Light waves, on the other hand, are an example of electromagnetic waves, which are also transverse waves. Longitudinal waves involve particle displacement parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
false
This statement is incorrect. Waves on a rope are transverse waves because the particles of the medium (the rope) vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Light waves, on the other hand, are electromagnetic waves that are classified as transverse waves because the electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
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.
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.

-- If you tie the viola to the end of a rope, then wiggle the viola and send wavesdown the rope to the other end, those are transverse waves.-- If you pluck or bow the viola strings, then the strings themselves vibrate withtransverse waves.-- However, the sound waves that proceed from the viola to the ear of the delightedconcertgoer are longitudinal ones.

the answer is longitudinal wavethe above answer would be incorrect. The correct answer is transverse wave.
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.

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.
The waves on a rope are transverse waves. This means that the particles of the rope move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves through air or water waves in the ocean. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum because they don't require a medium and consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Longitudinal waves vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagation, like sound waves. Transverse waves, on the other hand, vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like light waves. Surface waves travel along the boundary between two media, like ocean waves on the surface of water. Standing waves are formed by the interference of two waves traveling in opposite directions through the same medium, creating points of no motion called nodes.
