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 longitudinal waves?
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
What is a rarefraction in a wave?
The point on a longitudinal wave where the particles of a medium are stretched apart.
What is longitudinal ( compression) wave?
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal

What is the part of the wave where the particles are closest together?
Assuming that you are referring to longitudinal waves, the area where particles are closest together would be called the "compression" area. The "rarefaction" is the opposite; this is where the medium is least dense. Sound is a good example of longitudinal waves. If you look closely at a speaker cone, you be able to see that they seem to move in and out very rapidly. This is what "pushes" and "pulls" the air molecules and creates compressions and rarefactions which our ears receive and transmit as a neural impulse to our brain, allowing us to hear. Although transverse and longitudinal waves are both different types of waves, they are dissimilar (particles in a transverse wave move perpendicular to the motion of the wave (up and down) where as particles in a longitudinal wave move in the direction the wave is traveling).

What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.?
longitudinal
Why is it called longitudinal waves?
Since the particles of the medium vibrate parallel (length wise) to the direction of propagation of the energy. HEnce the name longitudinal.
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in a the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal waves
In which types of waves do the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
longitudinal waves
In what type of wave do the particles in the medium experience forces parallel to the wave's direction?
The type of wave in which the particles in the medium experience forces parallel to the wave's direction is the longitudinal wave. It is a mechanical wave that travels through a series of compressions and rarefactions.
What is the difference between a tansverse wave and a longitudinal wave?
If the particles of the material medium vibrated in a perpendicular direction to the direction of propagation of the wave then it is said to be TRANSVERSE If the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation then it will be longitudinal
