David Fink Physics Journal #1

In this image, my brother and I are standing in Oregon on a golf course. I was golfing that day and my mom took a picture on the third hole showing that the wind moves the flag. The golf course was very windy which is amazing the picture came out with the flag, as sometimes the flag will be moving so fast it would be too blury to see the details. As wind blows, different types of waves. But in this image, transverse waves are blowing the flag making it wave. The reason it is called transverse is because the flag is blowing in the same direction the wind is blowing. This is how it relates to physics, as the flag clearly shows that it is moving with the side to side or left to right wind. If the flag was waving up and down, the term of the waves would be longitudinal.
