A wave in which the vibration is in the same direction as that in which the wave is traveling; sound waves

• longitudinal wave
• ocean wave
• transverse wave
• mechanical wave

The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.

• rarefaction
• compression
• crest
• trough

A part in a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart

• compression
• rarefaction
• crest
• trough

A wave that requires a medium through which to travel

• mechanical wave
