Question

How would you classify the wave?

Answer 1

I've read about it but never seen one. The way I understand it, it's a coordinated physical motion executed by a great number of people, as in a large crowd at a sporting event, timed so that it appears to propagate from one end of the crowd to the opposite end.

I would classify it as a cooperative community activity, involving liberty, equality, and fraternity, executed for the common good.

Answer 2

Answer:

One way to categorize waves is on the basis of the direction of movement of the individual particles of the medium relative to the direction that the waves travel. Categorizing waves on this basis leads to three notable categories: transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves.
