It means the disturbance (e.g., pressure difference) goes in the same direction as the direction of the wave. In a transversal wave, on the other hand, the disturbance goes at a right angle.

What happens to the volume of a sound wave as its amplitude decrease?
You mean by the word 'volume' the intensity of sound wave. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.
What is another word for sound wave?
Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, to be received and perceived by the brain. Other words for sound waves include acoustic waves, longitudinal waves, compression waves, and transverse waves.
What does wavelength mean in sound terms?
wave length is a word to do about sound. for example if a sound is low and it gets high and gets low again it called a wavelength
What is an Alternative word for the amplitude of a sound wave?
Loudness. Volume.
What are types of transverse waves?
A transverse wave is a wave in which the direction of displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, as a surface wave of water. Another name for this word is an electromagnetic wave.

Does wave have a short or long vowel sound?
The word "wave" has a long vowel sound for the letter 'a' because it says its name, /ei/, instead of a short sound like /æ/.
What is an Alternative word for the amplitude of a sound wave?
Loudness. Volume.
What does longtudinal mean?
The definition for the word longitudinal is "running lengthwise rather than across."

How do you use the word spectral in a sentence?
In accoustic measurements, spectral mean refers to the center of gravity for a certain sound wave selection.
How do waves in an earthquake get their names?
The word earthquake is another word for earth shake. The definition of quake means to shake or tremble and during an earthquake the area is continuously shaking until the earthquake has ended. Therefore, scientists believed that earthquake was the perfect name.
