What kind of wave is produced, if a rope is moved as shown in the image below?




Group of answer choices

Both longitudinal and transverse

Transverse

Neither longitudinal nor transverse

Transverse

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of propagation is perpendicular to the motion of the hand. Therefore the wave undergoes a vertical stretching, which is characteristic of transverse waves. Longitudinal waves stretch horizontally.
