What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal
How do particles in a sound wave move?
The move by expansion and Contraction of the medium by which they are propagated. It is transmitted in air as a longitudinal wave- which means its direction is in line with the movement of the medium.
When the particles of the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
What are charcteristics of a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles in the medium move back and forth along the path of the wave. Sound passing through a solid, liquid or gas is a good example of a longitudinal wave. Waves produced by the wind blowing on the surface of a pond are not longitudinal (The water particles actually move in overlapping vertical circles.) nor are the waves in a flag flapping in the breeze.
What are Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling called?
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 wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
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.
When the particles ot the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
