Answer

Parallel to the wave's direction

Explanation

1. Identify motion type In a longitudinal wave, particles oscillate back and forth along the same direction as the wave travels. 2. Relate particle motion to energy transfer Energy moves in the same direction as the particle oscillations—parallel to the wave's travel direction.
