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 Are waves in which particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave?
Compression waves.
What type of waves move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the wave are traveling?
longitude
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 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.
Which particles move parallel to wave motion?
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.?
longitudinal
How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through the wave?
back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel

What is the motions of particles when it is boiling?
particles move randomely
How do rock particles move during the passage of an s wave through the rock?
back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel
How do the particles move in the ground when p waves pass through it?
P waves are longitudinal mechanical waves which are formed from alternating compressions and rarefactions. In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.The particles do not move with the wave; they simply oscillate back and forth about their individual equilibrium positions. Thus particles in the ground move or vibrate along or parallel to the traveling direction of the P wave when it passes through them..
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.
In a transverse wave does the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction?
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.
