Why is radon more closely associated with inducing lung cancer than other types of cancer?

An 18-foot pole, while remaining parallel to the \(x\)-axis, moves with velocity \((v,-w, 0)\) relative to frame \(S\), where \(\gamma(v)=3\), and \(w\) is positive. The centre of the pole passes the centre of a 9 -foot hole in a plate that coincides with the plane \(y=0\). Explain, from the point of view of the usual second frame \(S^{\prime}\) moving with velocity \(v\) relative to \(S\), how the pole gets through the hole.

Show that if \(\rho: M^{\prime} \rightarrow M\) is a smooth map, then \(\rho_{*}\left(\left[u^{\prime}, v^{\prime}\right]\right)=\) $\left[\rho_{*} u^{\prime}, \rho_{*} v^{\prime}\right]\( for any vector fields \)u^{\prime}, v^{\prime}\( on \)M^{\prime}$.

Question: Obtain Eq. 9.20 directly from the wave equation by separation of variables.

Why a solid substance is able to transport both longitudinal waves and transverse waves, but a homogeneous fluid is able to transport only longitudinal waves?
