Wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and fourth along the path the wave travels?

Longitudinal wave.


What is a wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the path a wave travels?

A longitudinal wave, like sound.


What are waves in which the particles vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels?

Compression waves (as opposed to transverse waves).


What happens to air as sound travels through air?

Sound is transmitted from a source to the surrounding air particles, which vibrate or collide and pass the sound energy along to our ears. Without any particles to vibrate we wouldn't hear the sound.


In a longitudinal wave the energy of the wave moves?

The energy is not made of particles in the conventional sense. Particles of matter vibrate backwards and forwards along the direction of motion when a longitudinal wave travels. The particles possess kinetic energy.

How does sound travel in solid materials?

Sound travels in solids through a series of compressions and rarefactions of the particles in the material. When a sound wave is initiated, it causes the particles in the solid to vibrate, passing the sound energy along the material. The speed of sound in solids is higher than in air due to the particles being closer together.


What travels on through solids?

Sound waves can travel through solids by causing particles to vibrate and pass energy along. This transmission is more efficient in solids than in liquids or gases because the particles in solids are closely packed.


In what wave does the particles vibrate back an forth along the path of the wave?

Longitudinal wave.


What do waves not transfer?

There are lots of things they don't transfer.
