Answer:
Transverse
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves don't depend on the medium they travel through like a mechanical wave does, so they aren't mechanical. They don't oscillate (move back in forth) in the direction they travel either, ruling out compressional and longitudinal waves.
That leaves tranverse waves, the ones we're most used to, since they look very "wavelike," with smooth peaks and valleys. Electromagnic waves behave like these, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction they're traveling in.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Dopler's Law. Dopler describes the change in frequency of a wave in relation to that of an observer who is in motion relative to the Source of the Wave.
It can be described as
c = Propagation speed of waves in the medium
= Speed of the receiver relative to the medium
= Speed of the source relative to the medium
Frequency emited by the source
The sign depends on whether the receiver or the source approach or move away from each other.
Our values are given by,
Velocity of car
velocity of motor
Velocity of sound
Frequency emited by the source
Replacing we have that
Therefore the frequency that hear the motorcyclist is 601.7Hz
