Yes indeed, Sound waves will have alternate compression and rarefaction pressures. The air pressure goes above and below the average air pressure.

Do sound waves have mass?
Waves do not have mass and volume. They transmit energy without transmitting mass. However, waves can be found in solid materials such as earthquakes.
How does a compressional wave moves?
for compressional waves, think of a spring. It moves by compressing and contracting. For sinusoidal waves, think of waves on the beach.
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
They are transverse waves.
compressional wave?
this is the waves of p waves that have same direction of waves
Are light waves transverse waves or compressional waves?
They are best modeled as transverse waves.
What waves causes compressional waves caused by colliding air molecules?
Sound Waves
What is a compressional wave caused by colliding air molecules?
Sound Waves
Why are sound waves compressional waves?
Sound waves are compression waves because the molecules of air are compressed.
Are water waves compressional waves?
Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.
Are sound waves transverse waves or compressional waves Why?
Compressional, gasses can be compressed but cannot be wiggled side to side.
Do Compressional waves travel faster in liquids or solids?
solids because the molecules/atoms are closer to each other.
Do sound waves have mass?

How does a compressional wave moves?
for compressional waves, think of a spring. It moves by compressing and contracting. For sinusoidal waves, think of waves on the beach.
What is known as P waves?
primary waves or compressional waves
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
They are transverse waves.
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
There are 3 broad types of seismic waves, Surface waves, S-waves and P-waves. Love waves (a type of surface wave) and S-waves are transverse waves and P-waves are compressional.
Are also known as P waves?
Compression Waves
