Answer: Shaking a long metal chain up and down can create a transverse wave in the chain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transverse wave : It is a wave which medium particles oscillate perpendicularly to the direction in which wave is travelling.

When we shake a metal chain up and down. An array of up and down movement is observed which moves from one end towards the another end of the metal chain.
