Students model a wave by moving the end of a rope up and down. Which statement best explains the type of wave created by this motion?
a transverse wave, where particles move in the same direction as the wave
a transverse wave, where particles move perpendicular to the wave
a longitudinal wave, where particles move in the same direction as the wave
a longitudinal wave, where particles move perpendicular to the wave
The correct answer is:
a transverse wave, where particles move perpendicular to the wave
