That'd be acoustics
Acoustics.
The type of waves for the propagation of sound in air is longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
Back and forth in the direction of propagation of the sound waves.
Sound waves are mechanical waves because they require a medium for their propagation .They are also called longitudinal mechanics because they vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave and and produces compression and vibrations like that of longitudinal waves
Compression waves, like a shock front.
Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure which propagates through compressible media such as air or water. (Sound can propagate through solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation). During their propagation, waves can be reflected, refracted, or attenuated by the medium. The purpose of this experiment is to examine what effect the characteristics of the medium have on sound.

Sound waves are mechanical waves and all mechanical waves require a material medium for its propagation unlike electromagnectic waves
Adiabatic compression & rarefaction.
since sound needs a medium for its propagation , it requires air particles to travel along with its waves.
Wave is a propagation of oscillations of some physical parameter (perturbation of pressure, mass density, electrical or magnetic fields...). If oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of propagation - the wave is transverse (for example - electromagnetic wave). If physical parameter oscillates along the propagation direction - the wave is longitudinal(Sound).
Because they are longitudinal waves. The direction of oscillation of the particles is parallel to the direction of propagation of the waves.
No. Only the movement of the individual particles is SHM.
