Soundwaves are longitudinal waves whereas light (electromagnetic waves) are transverse waves.
Soundwaves oscillate parallel to the direction of propagation.
Light waves oscillate at right angles to the direction of propagation.

Bess [88]

Answer:

9.51

Explanation:

The distance s is given by:

s(t) = \sqrt{151^2 + (vt)^2}

The change in distance is given by the time derivative of s:

\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{v^2t}{\sqrt{151^2 + (vt)^2}}

For the time t you solve the equation of distance x for time:

x = vt => t = \frac{x}{v}

Plugging in for t:

\frac{ds}{dt}(t=\frac{x}{v})=\frac{vx }{\sqrt{151^2 + x^2}}=9.51
