Particles in a longitudinal wave move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.

Q. In a longitudinal wave, the motion of a particle is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.

How is the direction of propagation of medium particles related to the direction of propagation of a longitudinal wave?

Q. In sound waves, the individual particles of the medium move in which direction w.r.t. direction of propagation of the disturbance?

If medium particles oscillate up and down about their rest positions in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, then the wave is called transverse wave. For example, light is a transverse wave.

BUT IN THE CASE OF LIGHT, THERE ARE NO MEDIUM PARTICLES THAT VIBRATE. SO, HOW CAN IT BE CALLED A TRANSVERSE WAVE ?
