No, in a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagates. This is different from a transverse wave, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction.
Particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Longitudinal waves have particles that vibrate in the same direction that the wave is moving.
Transverse waves move particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation, causing the particles to oscillate up and down or side to side. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, move particles parallel to the direction of the wave, leading to compression and rarefaction of the medium through which the wave is passing.
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Longitudinal waves are the type of waves in which particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.

S waves are transverse waves, which means the particles in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This is in contrast to P waves, which are longitudinal waves where the particles vibrate parallel to the wave direction.

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
In a transverse wave, the particles of matter in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, which means they move up and down or side to side. This is unlike in a longitudinal wave where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, moving back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
Shock waves are a type of longitudinal waves, meaning the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
The two different types of waves are transverse waves and longitudinal waves. In transverse waves, the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like light waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, like sound waves.
Longitudinal wave. (as opposed to Transverse waves, where the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of movement.)
No, sound waves are not transverse waves; they are longitudinal waves. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation, while in a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. In the case of sound waves, the particles of the medium (such as air molecules) oscillate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is moving, creating areas of compression and rarefaction.
