List and describe the two types of waves

What will be an ideal response?


In a transverse wave, the vibration of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the motion of the wave itself. In a longitudinal wave, the vibration of the particles of the medium is along the direction of the wave's motion.

A crank is being turned clockwise at 120 rev/min. The handle is 10 cm from the axle of the crank

An observer some distance away sees the crank edge-on so he only perceives the vertical motion of the crank and not the horizontal motion. What equation describes the motion of the handle seen by the observer if at t=0 the crank is at y = 0 and moving in the negative y direction? A) y = (10 cm)cos((12.6 rad/s)t +3?/2 ) B) y = (10 cm)cos((12.6 rad/s + ?)t) C) y = (10 cm)cos((12.6 rad/s)t - ?/2 ) D) y = (10 cm)cos((12.6 rad/s)t) E) y = (10 cm)cos((12.6 rad/s)t + ?/2 )
