Chapter 14, Problem 3CQ

In a classic TV commercial, a group of cats feed from bowls of cat food that are lined up side by side. Initially there is one cat for each bowl. When an additional cat is added to the scene, it runs to a bowl at the end of the line and begins to eat. The cat that was there originally moves to the next bowl, displacing that cat, which moves to the next bowl, and so on down the line. What type of wave have the cats created? Explain.
