trough wave
Secondary Wave S Wave
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
The type of waves for the propagation of sound in air is longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
A high-pitched sound results when a string or a column of air vibrates rapidly.

Primary waves.
secondary waves
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
Secondary Wave S Wave
Alternating currents travels in only one direction and is the type of current that most electronic devices require including computers?

In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
The type of wave in which the particles in the medium experience forces parallel to the wave's direction is the longitudinal wave. It is a mechanical wave that travels through a series of compressions and rarefactions.
