What are waves that spread called?
Waves that spread outwards in all directions are called spherical waves.
What kind of wave has areas where particles are spread out?
A longitudinal wave has areas where particles are spread out. In this type of wave, particles move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, causing areas of compression (particles close together) and rarefaction (particles spread out). Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
Do electromagnetic waves spread?
Yes, electromagnetic waves spread by traveling outward from their source in all directions. The intensity of the waves decreases as they spread out, following the inverse square law.
Dropping a stone into water will produce what kind of wave?
Dropping a stone into water will produce circular waves that spread outwards from the point of impact. These waves are called ripples and are a type of surface wave.
What name is given to the tendency for waves to spread out when they meet a gap in a barrier?
Diffraction is the name given to the tendency for waves to spread out when they meet a gap in a barrier. This phenomenon occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or pass through an aperture, causing them to bend and spread out.

Can sound waves originate in a small space and spread out to cover a bigger space?
As of being waves, sound waves does just that. They start from origin and spread out. Sound waves will however quickly fade with distance and time.
Dropping a stone into water will produce what kind of wave?
Dropping a stone into water will produce circular waves that spread outwards from the point of impact. These waves are called ripples and are a type of surface wave.
What kind of waves are electromagnet waves?
They are transverse waves.

Has areas where particles are spread out?
compressional waves
What kind of waves are electromagnetic waves classified as?
They are tranverse waves.
What kind of waves do humans see?
visible waves visible waves
The spread of P-waves and S-waves can help seismologists to determine the?
distance to the epicenter of an earthquake. [:
When particles spread?
Sound does not spread out in particles but in waves. Imagine dropping a pebble in a still lake...and that is how sound waves spread out. Sound waves can also reverberate through harder materials; however, soft materials absorb the vibrations.
