what is the difference between longitudinal and surface waves?
Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.
How do particles moves as energy is transferred through a sound wave?
It depends on what medium it is in. If it is in a solid medium, the particles will be closely together, or vibrating. If it is in a liquid, the particles will be spreaded out and moving slowly. If it is in a gas, the particles will be in moving rapidly.
The velocity of a wave depends on what?
-- The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical characteristics of the stuff it's moving through. If it's moving through vacuum, then it depends on the permeability and permittivity of vacuum, and comes out to be 299,792,458 meters per second. -- The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical characteristics of the stuff it's moving through. If there's no material stuff there, then the speed is zero.
What Characteristics of both waves and particles share?
This is a tricky question as all particles can be defined by wave characteristics. In other words, particles and waves share all their characteristics as they are simply the same thing described by a different set of math. Briefly, particles have waves lengths, travel in group waves, possess energy that can be calculated by wave equations, and so on. In my mind a particle (i.e., sub-atomic particle) is simply a packet of waves. In other words both particles and waves have wave length, frequency, energy, periods, intensity, and probably some more that I've forgotten.
Lound sound is created by large wave and?
The loudness of the sound relates to the amplitude of the wave. The sound has energy due to the moving particles of air through which it travels.
What mechanical wave move particles perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving?
A sine wave.
If a transverse wave is moving from right to left the individual particles in the medium are moving?
No. the individual particles are not moving in the right to left direction. rather, they moves up and down. it is the wave that is going right to left.
Which seismic wave causes particles in the ground to move perpendicular to the wave's propagation?
S waves, or secondary waves, are transverse seismic waves, meaning that the particles being effected by the wave are moving perpendicular to the wave's propagation.
What are characteristics of water waves make them transverse waves?
There are many forms of water waves. The characteristics of water waves that are transverse waves are that the particles of the wave move perpendicular to the direction the wave moves.
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in a the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal waves

A wave in which particles move back and forth at right angles to the direction of travel is called what?
a wave in which matter is moved back and forth in the direction the wave is moving
