a slinky spread out and then grab a few coils and release and watch a compressional wave! Another example is a sound wave. the particles compressed together form a compression. The particles more widely spread apart form a rarefaction.

Compressional waves are also called mechanical waves. Examples include the plasma waves or guided waves.

Which one of the following is NOT an example of a compressional wave a wave moving through a coiled spring sound traveling through the air sound traveling through water green light traveling thru air?
Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.
How does a compressional wave moves?
for compressional waves, think of a spring. It moves by compressing and contracting. For sinusoidal waves, think of waves on the beach.
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
They are transverse waves.
compressional wave?
this is the waves of p waves that have same direction of waves
Are light waves transverse waves or compressional waves?
They are best modeled as transverse waves.
Are water waves compressional waves?
Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.

What kind of compressional waves travel through gasses liquids and solids?
Sound waves are an excellent example
Are sound waves transverse waves or compressional waves Why?
Compressional, gasses can be compressed but cannot be wiggled side to side.

What waves cause damage to property?
Waves from the ocean which come up with force or depth can cause damage to property. Compressional waves or tsunami waves are an example of these seismic waves.
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
There are 3 broad types of seismic waves, Surface waves, S-waves and P-waves. Love waves (a type of surface wave) and S-waves are transverse waves and P-waves are compressional.
What is known as P waves?
primary waves or compressional waves
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
They are transverse waves.
Are also known as P waves?
