Parallel waves are a type of Surfing wave formation where multiple waves are breaking simultaneously in a straight line along the coastline. Surfers can ride these waves simultaneously, often leading to a fun and social surfing experience. This wave formation is popular in certain beach breaks and can provide longer rides for surfers.

Transverse waves occur when the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. When the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave, longitudinal waves are formed. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move back and forth parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is a waves
Yes, a longitudinal wave is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The oscillations of the particles in a longitudinal wave are parallel to the direction in which the wave moves. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Longitudinal waves have vibrating particles that move parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves traveling through air are an example of longitudinal waves.
Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling.
