Answer:

The particle speed is constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Particles in gases travel quickly in all directions, frequently clashing with each other and the container's edge. The particles gather kinetic energy and travel faster as the temperature rises. The true average speed of the particles is determined by their mass and temperature; larger particles travel more slower around the same temperature than lighter particles.

Thus, the false statement about a wave moving through a constant speed is that:

The particle speed is constant.
