What is the difference between a tansverse wave and a longitudinal wave?
If the particles of the material medium vibrated in a perpendicular direction to the direction of propagation of the wave then it is said to be TRANSVERSE If the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation then it will be longitudinal
Why is it called longitudinal waves?
Since the particles of the medium vibrate parallel (length wise) to the direction of propagation of the energy. HEnce the name longitudinal.
In this type of wave particles of the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave?
tranverse
For each type of wave compare the vibration of the medium to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves vibrate up and down. Longitudinal waves vibrate parallel to the medium. Surface waves vibrate in circular motions.
What type of waves move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the wave are traveling?
longitude
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 this type of wave particles of the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave itself.?
tranverse
Which wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction parallel to the wave's motion?
Longitudinal wave
For each type of wave compare the vibration of the medium to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves vibrate up and down. Longitudinal waves vibrate parallel to the medium. Surface waves vibrate in circular motions.
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in a the same direction the wave is moving?
