A wave that moves the medium parallel to the direction of the energy is a:

• electromagnetic
• standing
• transverse
• longitudinal

When the particles of a medium are vibrating perpendicular to the direction of the wave,  this is a __________wave.

• sound

• transverse
• longitudinal

when the particles of a wave are spread out

• rarefaction
• compression
• node
• antinode
