A student shakes one end of a rope and observes waves moving along it. What kind of wave is this, and how do the particles move?

طالب علم رسی کا ایک سرا ہلا کر اس میں موجوں کو سفر کرتے دیکھتا ہے۔ یہ کون سی موج ہے اور ذرات کیسے حرکت کرتے ہیں؟

Solution & explanation

A transverse wave travels along the rope while rope elements oscillate sideways, perpendicular to propagation. They do not travel to the far end with each crest.
