Waves that move the particles of the medium PARALLEL to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called:

• Radio waves
• Longitudinal (Compressional) waves
• Transverse waves

Waves that move the particles of the medium PERPENDICULAR to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called:

• Combination waves
• Longitudinal (Compressional) waves
• Transverse waves
