The correct answer to the question is parallel.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering the question, first we have to understand a longitudinal wave.

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave in which the particle vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

In this type of wave, one will find compression and rarefaction . Compression is the high pressure region where particles are closely aggregated to each other while rarefaction is the low pressure region where particles are far away from each other. Hence, a longitudinal wave is a series of compression and rarefaction.

The transfer of energy occurs from particle to particle. On the other hand, we may say that transfer of energy takes place from compression to rarefaction, and this process is repeated.

Hence, the longitudinal waves transfer energy parallel to the direction of the wave motion.

How often do the earth's magnetic poles switch?
RSB [31]
Reversals are the rule, not the exception. Earth has settled in the last 20 million years into a pattern of a pole<span> reversal about every 200,000 to 300,000 years, although it has been more than twice that </span>long<span> since the last reversal.</span>

Determine the energy in joules of a photon whose frequency is 3.55 x10^17 hz
asambeis [7]
By using the Plancks-Einstein equation, we can find the energy;
E = hf
where h is the plancks constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴
f = frequency = 3.55 x 10¹⁷hz
E = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴) x (3.55 x 10¹⁷)
E = 2.354 x 10⁻¹⁶J

Does an increase in velocity necessarily mean an increase in acceleration?
Vinil7 [7]
We know, acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time
Here, if velocity is increasing, then, 
Final velocity > initial velocity, in that case, acceleration is also increasing, as it is directly proportional to velocity

In short, Your Answer would be "Yes"

Hope this helps!
