If you twirl one end of a horizontally stretched rope in a circle in a plane perpendicular to the rope, a wave will propagate along the rope. Is this wave transverse, longitudinal, a combination, or none?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Particles move in circles in a plane perpendicular to the propagation direction, i.e. perpendicular to the rope. That is a transverse wave: two perpendicular transverse components with a quarter-period phase difference.
