Want this question answered?
Yes, for example sound is a longitudinal wave. It cannot travel in a vacuum.
They do need a medium
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is sound. :)
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.

waves in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport.

It is sound waves
Seismic waves: longitudinal compression waves.
Seismic waves: longitudinal compression waves.
The disturbance from an earthquake propagates as a wave. This wave can be either longitudinal or transverse. (Since waves that pass through the Earth's core are always longitudinal, geologists conclude that the Earth is liquid. A liquid won't transport transverse waves.)
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
As longitudinal waves. It transfers energy through vibrations of air layes
