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.
