No. If it happens that the disturbance propagates through the medium, i.e. spreads out
from the disturbed point, then the phenomenon that travels away from the disturbance
and through the medium describes the wave.
a periodic disturbance of a medium _apex...420
A wave.
That sounds like the description of a wave.
a medium as longitude wave
Changing the medium of the wave
a periodic disturbance of a medium _apex...420
A repeating (periodic) disturbance in a medium is a wave.
Wave is just a disturbance in a regular/periodic/organized way.
A wave.
The matter making up the medium does not move along with the wave
That sounds like the description of a wave.
a medium as longitude wave
Changing the medium of the wave
Light does that.
Longitudinal
Longitudinal wave
The correct answer is: longitudinal or compression.
