Question

identifying waves use the word bank to complete the sentences. words may be used more than once. longitudinal parallel perpendicular transverse transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of motion of vibrating particles, while longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of motion of the vibrating particles. when a guitar string is plucked, the string transfers energy to transverse waves in the air. the vibrations on the ends of a string form longitudinal waves. when sound waves from a guitar travel through air, the air particles move to the vibration direction of the string. sound is a wave.

Explanation:

Transverse waves have particle motion perpendicular to wave - motion direction, while longitudinal waves have particle motion parallel to wave - motion direction. Sound is a longitudinal wave. When a guitar string is plucked, it creates transverse waves on the string and longitudinal sound waves in the air. The air particles move parallel to the vibration direction of the string for sound waves.

Answer:

parallel, longitudinal
