Answer:
In longitudinal waves, particles of the medium vibrate to and from in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport. If the particles only moved north and not back south, then the particles would be permanently displaced from their rest position; this is not wavelike

What is longitudinal wave?
- Longitudinal wave is a mechanical wave.
- It is a wave in which the vibration of particles in the medium is in a direction similar to the propagation of wave.
- Any disturbance caused in the medium due to vibration of particles parallelly to the direction of wave progression is called longitudinal wave.
- The wave propagation happens through compression and rarefaction of particle vibration.
- Example of longitudinal wave is sound wave.
