Best Answer

longitudinal wave consists of particles that move parallel to the motion of the wave.

longitudinal wave also known as "l-waves", are waves that have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel, which means that the movement of the medium is in the same direction as or the opposite direction to the motion of the wave.

longitudinal waces are also called pressure waves
A ripple on a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized transverse waves. In longitudinal waves the displacement of the medium is parallel.
