in a transverse wave the individual particles of the medium
No. the individual particles are not moving in the right to left direction. rather, they moves up and down. it is the wave that is going right to left.
Transverse wave
A Transverse Wave
a wave that the particles of the medium mover perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling

Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P
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 =]
