The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.
When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.

What energy change occurs when sound is produced?
Sound energy causes the particles in the medium it is traveling through to vibrate. The medium is a solid, liquid or gas.
When the energy of a sound wave is transferred to a particle of a medium and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the sound wave is?
Reflected
The matter through which a wave transfers energy is called what?
Propagation medium? Though a wave doesn't need a medium to travel or transfer energy (sound waves do, but lightwaves don't). People used to think there was an ether in which light moved, but there isn't.
Is Aluminum low ionization energy?
The ionization energy of aluminium is 5,985 77 eV. It is a medium energy.
The what of a medium is how much matter or mass there is in a given volume?
Density
What is the matter that waves use to transfer energy?
The matter that waves use to transfer energy is called the medium. The medium actually carries the energy of the wave. Sound is a good example of mechanical energy, and it requires a medium to travel. The energy created at the source is transferred into the medium, and the medium carries it forward in transmission (propagation).
What is the matter which a wave transfers energy?
MEDIUM
The matter through which waves transfers energy?
The matter through which waves transfers energy is a medium.
What is the matter through which a wave transfer energy?
MEDIUM
What energy change occurs when sound is produced?
Sound energy causes the particles in the medium it is traveling through to vibrate. The medium is a solid, liquid or gas.
What type of waves move the medium at right angles to the direction of the energy?
Transverse Waves
When the particles of a medium are vibrating at right angles to the direction of energy transport then the wave is what?
Transverse
What causes the molecules in a medium to vibrate and form waves?
The transfer of energy.
What forms when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate?
Mechanical Waves
What happens when a source of energy causes medium to vibrate?
A Wave Forms .
What is created when a source of energy causes a vibration to travel through a medium?
A wave.
What form when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate?
Mechanical Waves
