Question

waves have different ways of moving. one type, called longitudinal waves, are a kind of wave that makes particles come closer together in compressions and move farther apart in rarefactions. these waves travel in the same direction that particles are pushed or pulled, creating a pattern of compressions and rarefactions as they move through a medium. sound is an example of this wave and needs a medium to move through. waves that require a medium to travel through are called mechanical waves. sound is both a longitudinal and mechanical wave. unlike sound, light is a transverse wave, where particles move perpendicular to the waves direction. light doesnt need a medium to travel - it can move through empty space. which type of wave has particles that move perpendicular to the waves motion? logical transverse longitudinal

Explanation:

The text mentions that transverse waves have particles moving perpendicular to the wave's direction.

Answer:

Transverse
