What is a wave which causes the particles of the medium to move in the same direction that the wave is traveling?
It's called a longitudinal wave.
What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the medium?
It depends on the type of wave. If it is a transverse wave, then the medium moves in one direction while the wave moves in a perpendicular direction. Flicking a rope up and down causes a transverse wave. Eletromagnetic waves (e.g. light and radio) are transvere. If it is a longitudinal wave then the wave moves in the same direction as the medium. Pushing a slinky causes a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are also longitudinal.
What wave occur when the motion of medium wave is parallel to the direction of the wave?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
Medium vibrates in the same direction as the wave travels?
That is called a longitudinal wave.
In what type of wave do the particles in the medium experience forces parallel to the wave's direction?
The type of wave in which the particles in the medium experience forces parallel to the wave's direction is the longitudinal wave. It is a mechanical wave that travels through a series of compressions and rarefactions.
Which wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction parallel to the wave's motion?
Longitudinal wave

In this type of wave wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.?
longitudinal
Medium vibrates in the same direction as the wave travels?
That is called a longitudinal wave.
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
