This means that her son is small compared to other 6 month old children.

A percentile is a measure between 0 and 100 that compares children of similar age in order to know if a particular child is growing well.

  • Waves may be classified as longitudinal waves or transverse wave depending on the vibration of particles relative to the wave motion or mechanical and electromagnetic waves based on the material medium of transmission.
  • <em><u>Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves that are mechanical waves since they require material medium for transmission. Longitudinal waves involves transmission of waves such that the vibration of particles is parallel to the wave motion , creating compressions and rarefactions.</u></em>
