The point moves up and down at the same place

Nice! The wave moves forward but not the point

But if I think about it, I guess it means that at some instant, the equilibrium point before A will be at point B, since the wave is moving forward..?

Hm... I'm not sure. I couldn't find a rope or jump rope. I'm finding it hard to visualise

Oh... so point B will also move forward..? But still, isn't point B always going to be at that point (equilibrium after max positive) on the wave?

Homework Statement 6 Earthquakes produce transverse and longitudinal seismic waves that travel through rock. Figure 8 shows the displacement of the particles of rock at a given instant, for different positions along a transverse wave. Figure 8: (b) Describe the motion of the rock particle...
