Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?
This type of wave is called longitudinal waves.
What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?
In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.
What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
what is the difference between longitudinal and surface waves?
Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.

What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal
Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)

Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.
Ocean waves are what kind of wave type?
Ocean waves are mechanical waves. The waves on the surface are surface waves (particles move in a circular motion) while the waves in the depths are longitudinal (particles move parallel to the wave propogation).
What do transverse waves and longitudnal waves have in common?
Transverse waves and longitudinal waves are both types of mechanical waves. They both transfer energy through a medium, but their motion and displacement of particles in the medium differ. In transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while in longitudinal waves, particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
What kind waves cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kind of waves caused particles of rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kind of waves cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kinds of waves are sound waves?
sound waves are compression waves, or longitudinal waves. sounds that we hear are actually just compressions and rarefactions of air particles, meaning the air particles move closer together for a time period then spread apart farther then they normally would rarefaction)
