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.
do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Which type of wave do particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Transverse or Electromagnetic waves.
Do waves transfers energy?
Yes, waves can and do transfer energy. When the particles vibrate, this means energy is then being transferred. However, they do not transfer matter.
What are waves in physics?
Waves are vibrations that pass through a substance. The vibrations make the particles in the substance vibrate, which, in turn, make surrounding particles vibrate. There are different kinds of waves in physics. Mechanical Waves, Electromagnetic Waves. Mechanical waves being those on strings, for example. Electromagnetic waves being those in electric/magnetic fields, for example. (radio waves, light, ultraviolet radiation) Transverse waves - those waves that are perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles. Longitudinal waves - those waves that are parallel to the direction of vibration of the particles.

What waves is a primary wave?
Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel
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
do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

Transverse or Electromagnetic waves.
Do waves transfers energy?

What is a primary wave or p-wave?
Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel

What type of particle vibrations occurs in longitudinal waves?
Particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.
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 what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
