What is rarefacation?

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.


A region of spread out particles ina compressional wave is called?

I believe you are referring to rarefaction. The "trough" of a compression / rarefaction wave is called rarefaction.


What types of wave does rarefaction and compression?

this kind of wave that includes compressional and rarefaction is called a longitudinal wave.


What is the opposite of a compression 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 only in?

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.


Is a sonic wave a longitudinal wave?

No, a compression-rarefaction wave.


What is compression and a rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?

When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.


What is difference between crest and rarefaction?

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.


What is a part of a compressional wave where the particles are far apart?

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.


What is found in a compressional wave?

A rarefaction is found in a compressional wave


A trough in a transverse wave corresponds to a in a longitudinal wave?

If you are looking for a true/false answer, it's false.


The less dense region of a compression wave is called?

The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
