In this type of wave particles of the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave?

tranverse

How do the particles of a transverse wave vibrate?

They vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?

In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.

Are the particles in gas can only vibrate from side to side?

No, they can move in any direction.

do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?

In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?

In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?

Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]

What energy change occurs when sound is produced?

Sound energy causes the particles in the medium it is traveling through to vibrate. The medium is a solid, liquid or gas.
