Question

A hand is oscillating one end of a piece of rope so that acontinuous wave is observed to travel down the length of the rope.This type of wave is an example of:
a handwave
a transversewave
a transverseand longitudinal wave combination
alongitudinal wave
a lateralwave
a standingwave
I'm thinking it's a longitudinal wave because it's travelingdown the length so it's parallel to he direction of thedisturbance. But the wording is a little confusion so I'm notsure.

Explanation / Answer

   a standing wave    the case is superposition of two longitudnalwaves producing a standing wave.
