a longitudinal wave, where particles move in the same direction as the wave
a transverse wave, where particles move in the same direction as the wave
a transverse wave, where particles move in the same direction as the wave
a transverse wave, where particles move perpendicular to the wave

The correct statement that best explains the type of wave created by moving the end of a rope up and down is:
**a transverse wave, where particles move perpendicular to the wave.**
In a transverse wave, the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation, which is what happens when you move a rope up and down.
**a transverse wave, where particles move perpendicular to the wave.**
In a transverse wave, the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation, which is what happens when you move a rope up and down.
