longitudinal wave
No, individual particles of a medium do not move along with a wave. Instead, they oscillate back and forth in a motion perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This motion of particles helps to transfer the energy of the wave through the medium.

longitudinal wave
The media motion of a surface wave consists of particles in the medium moving in a circular or elliptical motion. As the wave passes through a medium boundary, the motion of the particles is a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motion. This unique motion causes the surface wave to travel along the boundary of the two mediums.
longitudinal wave
The medium vibrates in a direction parallel to the wave's motion due to the oscillation of particles along the same axis as the wave propagation. This type of wave motion is known as a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
In transverse waves, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, whereas in longitudinal waves, particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Transverse waves have a side-to-side motion, while longitudinal waves have a back-and-forth motion along the same axis as the wave.
longitudinal wave
Longitudinal waves are characterized by particles of the medium moving back and forth in the same direction as the wave motion. This causes compression and rarefaction of the medium as the wave passes through it. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
The medium of a wave on a spring is the material of the spring itself. As the wave travels through the spring, it causes the individual particles of the material to oscillate back and forth. This motion of the particles transfers energy along the length of the spring.
No, particles of matter are not carried along with a sound wave. Sound waves are created by the vibration of particles within a medium, which then pass the energy along through compression and rarefaction of the medium's particles. However, the particles themselves do not travel with the sound wave.
it's the transverse wave that carries waves on a string .b'caz waves on a string proceed along the length of the string but the particles of the medium that is the particles of the string move perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
