Brief Explanations
A wave moving along a rope has particles vibrating perpendicular to the direction of wave - motion, which is the characteristic of a transverse wave. Longitudinal waves have particles vibrating parallel to the wave - motion, and surface waves are a combination of both transverse and longitudinal motion in a surface medium.
