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.

The medium of a wave is?

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!


What is whatever carries a wave called?

A medium is what carries a wave. It can be a substance such as water for water waves, air for sound waves, or even space for light waves. The medium is necessary for the wave to travel through.


What is a wave in a rope an example of?

A wave in a rope is an example of a mechanical wave, which is the propagation of vibrations through a medium (the rope in this case) without the transfer of matter. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through, and in this example, the energy from your hand is transferred through the rope, causing the wave to travel along its length.


How are waves and a medium related?

The medium carries/supports the movement of the wave


What is the medium through which the wave is moving?

this is for e2020 students. the answer is: the rope.


What kind of wave is caused by shaking a rope?

A transverse wave is caused by shaking a rope. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation, resulting in the characteristic up-and-down motion of the rope.


What is the measure of the energy that a wave carries?

The measure of the energy that a wave carries is its amplitude. The greater the amplitude, the more energy the wave carries. This energy is transferred through the wave's oscillations as it propagates through a medium.


What a wave does carry?

A wave carries energy or information through a medium, such as air or water. This energy or information is transferred from one place to another without the material of the medium itself moving with the wave.


Why waves in a rope are called transverse wave?

Waves in a rope are called transverse waves because the particles of the medium (the rope) move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the oscillations of the rope are side-to-side or up-and-down, creating a wave that appears to move horizontally along the rope.


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.


A wave is traveling along a thick rope tied to a thin rope which of these three wave characteristics does not undergo change- speed frequency or wavelength?

I'm not sure if this is right, but I think that it is frequency, because it is independent of mass.


What does the wave transfer?

A wave transfers energy and information through a medium or space by oscillating particles or fields. The wave causes the particles of the medium to vibrate in a repeating pattern, which carries the energy and information along its path.
