What determines if a wave is classified as transverse or longitudinal?

• The material the wave travels through

• The direction of particle vibration relative to the wave's energy movement

• The frequency of the wave

• The amplitude of the wave

In longitudinal waves, how do particles vibrate in relation to the wave's direction?

• In a random pattern

• In a circular motion

• Parallel to the wave's direction

• Perpendicular to the wave's direction

How do sound waves travel through air?

• By electromagnetic radiation

• By transferring energy through particle vibration parallel to the wave direction

• By causing air particles to vibrate up and down

• By moving air particles in a circular motion
