the earth and sound waves
Rarefaction is the process of decreasing the density of a substance or the reduction of pressure in a medium. In terms of sound waves, rarefaction refers to the region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart. It is the opposite of compression in a wave.
I believe you are referring to rarefaction. The "trough" of a compression / rarefaction wave is called rarefaction.
this kind of wave that includes compressional and rarefaction is called a longitudinal wave.
The opposite of a compression wave is a rarefaction wave. In a compression wave, particles are close together, whereas in a rarefaction wave, particles are spread out.
Rarefaction occurs in longitudinal waves when the particles in the medium are spread further apart, resulting in a decrease in density and pressure. This phenomenon is typically observed in sound waves as they travel through a medium.
No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
A crest is the highest point of a wave, while a rarefaction is the lowest point of a wave. In other words, the crest is the peak of the wave, and the rarefaction is the trough or dip. Together, the crest and rarefaction make up the waveform of a wave.
The rarefaction is the part of a compressional wave where particles are far apart. This is the region of low pressure in the wave, where particles are spread out compared to the other parts of the wave.
A rarefaction is found in a compressional wave
If you are looking for a true/false answer, it's false.
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
