Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling.
In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium oscillate in the same direction that the wave is traveling. The particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave.
Longitudinal waves move particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling. This type of wave is characterized by compressions and rarefactions in the material through which it travels. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound waves.
Yes, that is correct. In a compression or longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of energy transport. This means that the particles of the medium exhibit back-and-forth motion in the same direction that the wave is traveling.
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)

Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling. This produces a back-and-forth motion of the particles parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. This means that the particles oscillate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. This motion creates areas of compression and rarefaction in the medium, which propagate through the material.
Longitudinal waves move in a direction parallel to the direction of vibration of the particles in the medium through which the wave is propagating. This means that the particles oscillate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling.
Longitudinal Wave - Oscillations where particles are displaced parallel to the wave direction.
Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
In a longitudinal wave, particles move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. As the wave passes through a medium, particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. This results in the compression and rarefaction of the medium along the wave path.
In a compressional wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave motion. The particles move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling, causing compressions and rarefactions as the wave passes through the medium.
