What wave has areas where particles are spread out?
Longitudanal or compressional waves
What kind of wave pushes particles together and then spreads them apart as it moves?
longitudinal waves spread apart as they go
When particles or waves are spread apart in a longitudal wave they are called?
wavelength
What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
What is the distances between compression and rarefaction of longitudinal wave?
Compression is the areas where the particles are closer together. Rarefaction is the areas where the particles are stretched apart.

What kind of wave is a transverse wave?
a wave that the particles of the medium mover perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling

What is the distances between compression and rarefaction of longitudinal wave?
Compression is the areas where the particles are closer together. Rarefaction is the areas where the particles are stretched apart.
What kind of a wave do the particles of the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
How do particles move?
Some materials move by diffusion. Diffusion is the process in which molecules spread out, or move from areas where there are many molecules, to areas where there are fewer of them. == It depends on the particles. Brownian motion is what causes very small particles to move in a fluid. On a smaller scale, osmotic pressure, ionic gradient and some others.
