In a longitudinal wave, the energy is primarily in the form of mechanical energy, which is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. This energy is transferred through the compression and rarefaction of the medium the wave is traveling through.
No, a wave can be either transverse or longitudinal. Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like light waves, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, like sound waves. Both types of waves can carry energy and information.
That is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's energy transfer. Sound waves in air are examples of longitudinal waves.
In a longitudinal wave, energy travels in the same direction as the wave is moving. This means kinetic energy is transferred from one particle to the next in the direction of wave propagation.
In longitudinal waves, energy is transferred in the form of mechanical energy. This energy is manifested through the compression and rarefaction of the medium that the wave travels through. Longitudinal waves are typically associated with sound waves, where energy is propagated through the compression and expansion of air molecules.
Both transverse waves and longitudinal waves are types of mechanical waves that transfer energy through a medium. In both types of waves, particles within the medium oscillate to transmit the wave energy.
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave

Depends on the amount of energy in the wave.

The energy travels parallel to the direction of the wave
In longitudinal waves, energy is transferred in the form of mechanical energy. This energy is manifested through the compression and rarefaction of the medium that the wave travels through. Longitudinal waves are typically associated with sound waves, where energy is propagated through the compression and expansion of air molecules.
Both transverse waves and longitudinal waves are types of mechanical waves that transfer energy through a medium. In both types of waves, particles within the medium oscillate to transmit the wave energy.
The type of wave in which the matter in the wave moves in the same direction as the wave itself is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth parallel to the direction of energy transport. This is in contrast to a transverse wave, where the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transport. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
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.
