for compressional waves, think of a spring. It moves by compressing and contracting. For sinusoidal waves, think of waves on the beach.

What kinda of wave is a compressional wave?
A compressional wave is a primary wave
Is a sound wave compressional or transverse?
Compressional
What is a wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
The matter transfers the energy, it does not move very far. It circles at approximately the same spot as the wave energy passes.
What wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions?
it is compressional wave. Compressional waves are a type of sound wave.
In a compressional wave the motion of the particle are parallel to the motion of the wave?
Yes
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
Matter in the medium moves forward and backward what is that called?
A wave.A wave.A wave.A wave.
Is a compressional wave a sound wave?
Compressional!
What kinda of wave is a compressional wave?
A compressional wave is a primary wave
Is a compressional wave mechanical or compressional?
compressional
What is found in a compressional wave?
A rarefaction is found in a compressional wave
Is a sound wave compressional or transverse?
Compressional

What is a compressional wave?
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.
