This type of wave is a transverse wave. Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction which the wave moves.

Longitudinal Waves. In a longitudinal wave theparticle displacement is parallel to the direction ofwave propagation. ... The particles do not move down the tube with the wave; they simply oscillateback and forth about their individual equilibrium positions.
