Squeezing a group of particles in wave?
compression
What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading?
Sound waves are the waves that travel by squeezing and spreading.
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium?
No, particles of the medium do not become part of the wave
What are the motion of the particles like inside the medium of a transverse wave?
in a transverse wave the individual particles of the medium
What does a wave transfer if the particles themselves do not move?
If the particles themselves do not move, then you have no wave, and nothing is transferred.If the particles are free to move about their rest positions, then you can have a wave, andit can transfer energy from place to place.

What is squeezing of a group of paritcles in a wave?
compression
Does particles in the medium do not actually travel with the wave?
They don't. The energy of the wave is transmitted from one particle (or group of particles) to another. The energy of the wave moves along, the individual particles return to their resting position.
What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading?
Sound waves are the waves that travel by squeezing and spreading.
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium?
No, particles of the medium do not become part of the wave
Which particles move parallel to wave motion?
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.
What wave is ripples on a pond?
A Transverse wave of particles.
What are the motion of the particles like inside the medium of a transverse wave?
in a transverse wave the individual particles of the medium
What does a wave transfer if the particles themselves do not move?
If the particles themselves do not move, then you have no wave, and nothing is transferred.If the particles are free to move about their rest positions, then you can have a wave, andit can transfer energy from place to place.
When particles of wave move at right angle what type of wave is it?
Transverse wave
In what type of wave do the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the wave?
Tranverse wave
What happened to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?
As amplitude increases, the particles in a longitudinal wave become denser.
