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.

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.
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.

Transverse (rope),Longitudinal (spring),and Surface (Water & Air) waves
Does a viola make longitudinal waves?
-- 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.

What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the medium?
It depends on the type of wave. If it is a transverse wave, then the medium moves in one direction while the wave moves in a perpendicular direction. Flicking a rope up and down causes a transverse wave. Eletromagnetic waves (e.g. light and radio) are transvere. If it is a longitudinal wave then the wave moves in the same direction as the medium. Pushing a slinky causes a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are also longitudinal.
What do you call waves in a rope?
rope 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.
Why waves in a rope are called transverse wave?
ts of the rope vibrate movements to the direction in which the waves travel
Is a rope wave a longitudinal wave?
No, rope wave is a transverse wave, because the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of movement of wave.
