Question

You quickly flick a limp jump rope that is held firmly by a friend at the other end. What happens?

The up-and-down movement of your hand creates a longitudinal wave.

The up-and-down movement of your hand creates a transverse wave.

The jump rope moves upward, forming an arch between you and your friend.

Answer 1

The up and down movement of your quick flick creates a transverse wave on the rope. Then the wave travels along the rope to the other end.
