i cant tell you this i dont have health science and ii took health last year and i dont member this.

notamathgenius · Answer

It's either a Compression Wave or transverse wave

anonymous · Answer

its not really totally health its just science but I couldn't find a just science place

anonymous · Answer

oh thats fine. but sorry im not sure i hope others can help you to the answer 
@Notamathgenius  please explain it to her dont just give her answers please it helps them sort it out and learn thank you ^-^

notamathgenius · Answer

compression wave

wave consisting of a periodic disturbance or vibration that takes place in the same direction as the advance of the wave. A coiled spring that is compressed at one end and then released experiences a wave of compression that travels its length, followed by a stretching; a point on any coil of the spring will move with the wave and return along the same path, passing through the neutral position and then reversing its motion again. Sound moving through air also compresses and rarefies the gas in the direction of travel of the sound wave as they vibrate back and forth.

its ok I already knew it was between those 2 cause its not a scale lol

notamathgenius · Answer

The answer is Compression wave

anonymous · Answer

hmm I was thinking it was transverse

notamathgenius · Answer

Look at the diagram and read that definition

anonymous · Answer

ok well thx for helping me that was a big help

notamathgenius · Answer

yw lol

anonymous · Answer

^-^ thank you lol

whpalmer4 · Answer

No, an oscillating string is a transverse wave...Transverse waves have the energy transfer perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.

See for example http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/books/sat2/physics/chapter17section3.rhtml

anonymous · Answer

lol thx whpalmer I actually knew tht I figured it out when I was looking at the definitions side by side and I was looking at what the waves look like
