Are AM radio waves are an example of longitudinal waves?

No, AM radio waves are an example of transverse waves. Longitudinal waves have the oscillation of particles in the direction of wave propagation, while transverse waves have the oscillation of particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.


Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?

If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.


Medium vibrates in the same direction as the wave travels?

This type of wave is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
