A periodic longitudinal wave that has a frequency of 24.0 Hz travels along a coil spring. If the distance between successive compression is 0.485 What is the speed of the wave?

Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (24/sec) x (0.485) = 11.64 (same unit as the 0.485)/sec

Is the distance from one compression to the next compression is the amplitude of a longitudinal dinal wave?
True
How do you measure the compression of a longitudinal wave?
It is the distance between two points of maximum compression (or minimum compression).
The distance between successive crests or troughs determines wave?
Wave length.
What is wavelength of sound?
In physics, wavelength is the distance between two successive identical parts of a wave It is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ).Sound waves are longitudinal waves; their wavelength can be measured as the distance between two successive compressions (higher pressure and density regions) or two successive compressions (lower pressure and density regions). Mathematically : wavelength of sound wave = speed of the wave / frequency where wavelength is measured in meters speed is measured meters/second frequency is measured is Hz or second-1
Which term describes between any two crests in a transverse wave or the distance between any two rarefactions in a longitude wave?
If you measure the distance between any two successive or consecutive crests in case of transverse wave is called the wavelength. If we get the distance between any two crests that will be definitely an integral multiple of the wavelength. The same in case of longitudinal waves. The distance between two successive rarefactions is known to be the wavelength.

What is the wavelength of an object?
The wavelength of a signal is calculated by c/f. C is the velocity of the wave and f the frequency of the signal. Wavelength is defined as the distance between any two successive crests or troughs in case of a mechanical wave. In case of longitudinal wave, the distance between two successive compressions or rarefactions will be the wavelength. In case of electromagnetic wave c/f will be the wavelength

Wave length.
Which parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?
Well the wavelength is the distance between succesive crests, or troughs on a transverse wave is the distance between consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a longitudinal wave. the frequency can is the time between consecutive crest on a transverse wave and the time between consecutive rarefactions or compressions on a longitudinal wave. the amplitude on a transverse wave is the distance between a crest and the zero value of the wave, not till the trough. on a longitudinal wave the amplitidue is measured by the strength of the rarefactions or compressions as compared to the natural state of the propagation medium. so for a longidudinal wave travelling throught the air; if the compression pressure is 4 bar the amplitude would be greater than if the compression pressure was 3 bar, because the air's natural pressure is 1 bar. in reality things like sound waves have much less compression pressure.
What formula relates speed wavelength and frequency-?
The speed is the product of wavelength and frequency.
What is the speed of water wave if it's frequency is equal to the distance between two successive waves is 1.5?
velocity(v)=frequency(f)*wavelength =1.5*1.5 ms^-1 =2.25m/s
What is it called when the distant between successive crest waves?
the distance between the crests of two succesive waves is called the wavelength. It is directly related to the frequency of the wave

What is the 1310 nm wavelength?
A 1310 nm wavelength has a 2288 terahertz frequency. A wavelength is defined as the distance between two successive points, characterized by the same phase of oscillation, in that wave.
What is a longitudinal line?
distance from east to west
