Particles in transverse waves oscillate in a vertical motion. (they move up and down, Just in case ;))
In a longitudinal wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. This means that the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave.
When particles move up and down with a wave, this is known as vertical or transverse wave motion. In this type of wave, particles move perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. This motion creates crests and troughs in the wave pattern.
The particles of a transverse wave move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. As the wave passes through a medium, the particles move up and down or side to side in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
In a sound wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels, while in a water wave, particles move in a circular motion.
In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium oscillate in the same direction that the wave is traveling. The particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave.
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.

In a compression wave, particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. These particles oscillate back and forth around their equilibrium position as the wave passes through them.
They move in a circular motion
If the particles themselves do not move, then you have no wave, and nothing is transferred.If the particles are free to move about their rest positions, then you can have a wave, andit can transfer energy from place to place.
P-wave particles move in the same direction as the wave's propagation, which is the direction of energy transfer. This movement is back and forth in the direction of the wave.
Amplitudethe maximum distance the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest position
