Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions, they move parallel to the direction of propagation
Transverse waves have peaks and troughs, the mover perpendicular to the direction of propagation

What wave causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the waves travel?
A Compressional wave.
In what do the particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
compressional wave
Do sound sound waves travel up or down and back or forth?
Back and forth in the direction of propagation of the sound waves.
How are transverse waves and compressional waves similar and different?
transverse waves- the medium vibrates up and down, example- visible light, gamma and xrays. compression/longitudinal- move back and forth and need a medium to travel in. example- slinky.
How are transverse waves similar to and different from longitudinal waves?
A transverse wave causes particles in matter to move at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. A compressional wave causes particles in matter to move back and forth alog the same direction in which the wave is traveling.

In particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
The answer is a compressional wave (;

compressional wave
Wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels?
a compressional wave
Electromagnetic waves move back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels which makes them?
Compressional Waves
What is a compressional wave?
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

How do rock particles move during the passage of an s wave through the rock?
back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel
How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through the wave?
back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel
What is the AAA theorem in geometry?
AAA stands for angle-angle-angle SAS stands for side-angle-side and so forth
What direction do you face in orthographic projections?
its always in front of d vertical plane..however there are 4 methods of projection 1st angle second angle 3rd angle and fourth angle..but 1st and 3rd are preffered as the views come distinct in second and forth the views are placed one over the other causing trouble in identifying d views
