Waves can also be separated into transverse and longitudinal waves. In a transverse wave, the motion of the particles of the medium is at right angles (i.e., transverse) to the direction the wave moves.
The experiment's name comes from the Tuskegee Institute, the black university founded by Booker T. Washington. Its affiliated hospital lent the PHS its medical facilities for the study, and other predominantly black institutions as well as local black doctors also participated.
George Washington Carver was the first African American on the faculty at the Ames Agricultural College. By this time, he had developed a reputation, and was known as the âPlant Doctorâ, because of his keen interest in the local flora and fauna. Carver was asked to join the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, by none other than Booker T Washington. He moved there in 1896. He was there for the next 50 years! During this time, he taught students, and pursued his research simultaneously.
