Answer: Longitudinal wave

Explanation:

Longitudinal wave are the oscillations that are parallel to the direction of energy transfer that means the vibrations are in line with the direction where the energy is travelling.

A key feature of sound wave is that they cause sound particles to vibrate. The region where the particles are close together are called compressions and regions where particles are further apart they are called rarefactions.

The other options explanation:

-Transverse waves are where the oscillations are perpendicular to the energy of transfer.

-A standing wave is where the waves are travelling back and forth where there are some fixed points in the system whilst other vibrate with highest amplitude

-Surface waves have both the characteristics of longitudinal and transverse waves

25% ao semestre = 25%/6 ao mes.
Um mes tem em media 365/12 dias, ou 30,42 dias/mes.
18 dias = 18/30,42 mes

5 meses + 18 dias = 5 meses + 18/30,42 mes = 5,592 mes

a taxa de juros por 5 meses e 18 dias e 25%/6 * 5.592 = 23,3%

123,3% * $125.000 = $154.125,00

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Stefan-Boltzman law that is responsible for calculating radioactive energy.

Mathematically this expression can be given as

$P = \sigma Ae\Delta T^4$
