A heat wave is a prolonged but minor "drought" that occurs in an area that varies by the air pressure and the weather conditions.

If you are referring to the electromagnetic wave that is felt as heat then it is "infra red" or thermal radiation.

Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?

A longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. Sound waves in air are an example of longitudinal waves.


What type of heat transfer moves as a wave?

Radiation is the type of heat transfer that moves as a wave. This occurs through electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation, that transfer heat energy from one object to another without the need for a medium.


Are radio waves a type of mechanical wave or a type of electromagnetic wave?

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave. They do not require a medium to travel through and can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.

What is the type of wave in which the disturbance moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?

The type of wave in which the disturbance moves at right angles to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves (like light) and waves on a string.
