What type of wave has crests and troughs?

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line

Ahole in the ground in the shape of an inverted cone is 14 meters deep and has radius at the top of 11 meters. the cone is filled to the top with sawdust. the density of the sawdust depends upon the depth, x, following the formula ρ ( x ) = 2.5 + 1.2 e − 0.7 x kg/m3. find the total mass of sawdust in the conical hole.

Can anyone plz answer any of these. even if its one it will
