Waves that spread out are called diverging waves. This occurs when the wave energy travels in multiple directions away from the source, causing the waves to disperse and move further apart as they propagate through a medium.
Waves that spread outwards in all directions are called spherical waves.
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.
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 circular waves that spread outwards from the point of impact. These waves are called ripples and are a type of surface wave.
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.

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.

They are transverse waves.

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.
