Correct choices:
- The wave is a mechanical wave.
- The wave moves energy through matter.
- The wave transfers energy perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
Reason: The disturbance is a transverse pulse on a rope, which requires a material medium (mechanical) so it carries energy through the rope (matter). In a transverse wave the medium oscillates perpendicular to the direction the wave travels, so the energy transfer is perpendicular to the particle motion. The wave is not electromagnetic and does not transfer energy through empty space without a medium.
