Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through the vacuum of space. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, and X-rays.
Yes, a transverse wave does move the medium. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the particles in the medium are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is moving. This motion of the particles transmits the energy of the wave through the medium.
Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling, not parallel. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the wave is traveling.
Transverse waves cause the medium to move in a perpendicular direction to the wave's propagation. In these waves, particles move up and down or side to side.
A longitudinal wave occurs when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
That would be a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, causing compression and rarefaction as the wave travels through the medium.

A longitudinal wave is a type of wave where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This creates compressions and rarefactions in the medium, causing the wave to propagate. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
A wave performed with a string is called a "transverse wave." In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.
It depends on what type of wave and in which medium.
One type of mechanical wave motion in an elastic medium is longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. An example of longitudinal waves is sound waves traveling through air.
A longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. Sound waves in air are an example of longitudinal waves.
