Disturbance in particle motion parallel to the wave velocity is called a longitudinal wave. Disturbance in particle motion perpendicular to the wave velocity is called a transverse wave.
Its a transverse 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 =]

Longitudinal Waves
Rarefaction is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart.
The part of a longitudinal wave with the lowest density is the rarefaction. This is where the particles are spread out, creating a region of lower density compared to the rest of the wave.
The part of a longitudinal wave with the lowest density is the rarefaction, where the particles are spread apart and the pressure is lower than the surrounding medium.
The less dense part of a longitudinal wave is called the rarefaction. It is the region where the particles are spread out and have lower pressure compared to the denser region called compression in a longitudinal wave.
The part of a longitudinal wave where particles are close together is called compression. This is where the particles are squeezed together, resulting in a region of high pressure within the wave.
A longitudinal wave can go through solids, liquids, and gases.A transversal wave will usually only go through solids. (Electromagnetic waves, however, can also go through empty space.)
Crest is the highest point for the Transerve wave. Trough is the lowest point of the Transerve wave. Compression is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are croweded. Rarefraction is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are spread aprat.
The rarefaction is the area of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are spread out. This region is where the particles are farther apart compared to the rest of the wave.
rarefraction
A longitudinal wave has areas where particles are spread out. In this type of wave, particles move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, causing areas of compression (particles close together) and rarefaction (particles spread out). Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
In a longitudinal wave, the compression part refers to the region where particles are closely packed together, leading to an increase in pressure. This compression region is followed by a rarefaction, where particles are spread apart, resulting in a decrease in pressure. The alternation between compression and rarefaction causes the wave to propagate through the medium.
