That is a primary or compressional wave. It is called compressional because the particles move toward and away from each other. It is called a primary wave because it arrives first. Sound waves in water or air are examples of primary waves.
The other type of wave is a secondary or shear wave. It is called secondary because it travels more slowly and arrives later than a primary wave. It is called a shear wave because the particles move at right angles to the direction of wave motion. The side-to-side motion of a Slinky is an example of a shear wave.
The other, other type of wave is a tertiary wave, which is a channeled saound wave trapped in the SoFAR channel in the ocean. Because this is typically the third type of wave identified on seismograms, this is also known as a tertiary wave or "t-phase".
Love Waves and Rayleigh waves are special cases of mixed-mode waves that travel along the surface of the Earth.

When particles of a medium are far apart that part of a wave is called a?
A Transverse Wave
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.
When the particles of a wave are far apart what is the part of the wave called?
I
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium?
No, particles of the medium do not become part of the wave
Compression is the part of the medium where particles are?
In terms of particles, "compression" means that particles move closer together.
