Question

A(n) what moves the medium in the same direction as the wave travels.

Answer 1

Longitudinal waves

Step-by-step explanation:

If you push or pull one end of a slinky, you can produce a longitudinal wave. The coils in the spring move back and forth in the same direction, or parallel, to the wave's motion. A longitudinal wave vibrates the medium in the same direction as the wave travels.

Answer 2

A SURFACE wave moves the medium in the same direction as the wave travels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each particles of water in an ocean wave moves in a CIRCLE. A transverse wave moves a medium at an OBTUSE angle to the wave.
