N what direction does the medium move relative to the direction of the wave? Explain.
Mashcka [7]
Two types of mechanical waves: longitudinal<span> waves and </span>transverse<span> waves; the medium movement differs between the two.

</span>In a longitudinal wave the medium particle movement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation; example is sound wave in air.

I<span>n a transverse wave the medium particle movement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation; example is mechanical wave on a string.
