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.
How transverse waves can be produced on a rope?
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.
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.
Can transverse waves be made with a rope?
Yes, if one person holds the rope still whilst the other swings the rope from up and down a transverse wave will be made. If the correct frequency is achieved, a standing wave may be created.
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
Are waves in a rope called transverse waves because the segments of the rope vibrate in the direction in which the waves travel?
No. "Transverse" means that the vibration is at right angles to the direction in which the wave advances.
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.

Waves that are comboination of transverse and longitudinalwaves are called?
Traditionally such waves are called surface waves. They are technically Quaternion waves consisting of a scalar (longitudinal) wave and a vector (transverse) wave.

A wave ceated by a shaking rope up and down is called?
transverse wave
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
Is an infrared wave a transverse wave?
Radio waves are transverse electromagnetic waves.
What type of waves do particalles in a medium move perpendicular to the direction that the waves move?
Waves that oscillate perpendicularly to their propagation are called transverse waves.
