What are waves in which the particles vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels called?
Compression waves (as opposed to transverse waves).
Wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is called?
sciene stuff
How do particles move when a mechanical wave passes through them?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
In what do the particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
compressional wave
What does to vibrate mean?
To move quickly back and forth.
Wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels?
Longitudinal Wave
What particles move back and forth?
All particles vibrate in some manner.
What is a wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the path a wave travels?
A longitudinal wave, like sound.
What are waves in which the particles vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels?

These waves cause back and forth motion?
The type of seismic waves that cause back and forth motions are P waves. P waves cause particles in material to vibrate back and forth.
In solids particles move back and fourth but do not change?
The position of the particles in a solid do not change. However they are said to move back and forth or vibrate in their same position.
Why do compressions and rarefactions occur alternatively?
because the particles vibrate back and forth due to which compression and rarefactions are made
What is a type of wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth alont the path that the wave travles?
traverse wave
Wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and fourth along the path the wave travels?
Longitudinal wave.
