Mechanical waves must travel through a

• vacuum.

• medium.

• light.

• sound

The motion of the particles in the medium of a longitudinal wave is

• always parallel to the motion of the wave.

• random, and unrelated to the motion of the wave.

• sometimes perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
