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)
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
In which type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave is traveling?
transverse waves
What is longitudinal waves?
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.

What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
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 =]
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in a the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal waves
In which types of waves do the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
longitudinal waves
What type of waves do particalles in a medium move perpendicular to the direction that the waves move?
Waves that oscillate perpendicularly to their propagation are called transverse waves.
describe the longitudinal nature of sound waves?
waves in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport.
What are wave classification?
Mechanical waves are produced when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate. Mechanical waves are classified by how they move. There are two types of mechanical waves: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Transverse means "across." Longitude means "horizontal". Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling. by how they move

What are Waves that move the particles of the wave parallel to the direction the waves are traveling are called?
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is a waves
