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.

∙ 9y agoIf you go to a website called hyperphysics , you can look up any topic in physics. If you go to waves, you will see that longitudinal waves move parallel to the medium. One way to determine if the wave is longitudinal or transverse is to think of transverse as crossing the wave. These waves are perpendicular to the motion of the medium.

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 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 in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.?

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.
Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction that the waves are travelling are called?
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is a waves
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.
A longitudinal waves cause its medium to move in what direction?
Parallel to the direction the wave travels.
A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
What Are waves in which particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave?
Compression waves.
What are the two classifications of waves?
The two classifications of waves are transverse waves, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, and longitudinal waves, where the particles move parallel to the direction of the wave.
What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal
A wave in which the particles of a medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling?
Transverse wave
