What is difference between crest and rarefaction?
Transverse waves have crests & troughs ,Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions . rarefaction is a pulling force it is a point when least force is applied
Why is produced rarefaction and condensation during the sound travlling in the medium?
Why is produced rarefaction and condensation during the sound travelling in the medium?
What is the relative spacing of molecules as they are affected by compression and rarefaction?
Rarefractions and compressions both are waves that carry energy with them
What is a real life example of rarefaction?
When a sound wave travels through air you get a succession of compressions and rarefactions
What type of wave is being described Sound parallel mechanical not a vacuum nedds a medium compressions and rarefaction?
longitudinal waves
Is rarefaction a high pressure area of tightly packed molecules?
No. A rarefaction is the region of a sound wave where the particles are spread out rather than close together. The closer together regions are compressions. These terms are used about waves in air, not weather systems.
A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and what?
As sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, sound has a series of compressions and rarefactions.To explain a bit more, compressions are the squeezes of the wave while rarefactions are the stretches of the wave.
The less dense region of a compression wave is called?
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
What rhymes with rarefaction?
There are no perfect rhymes for the word rarefaction.
Rarefaction occurs only in?
Rarefaction only occurs in a longitudinal wave. Rarefaction is the reduction of the density of a medium. It is the opposite of compression.
Molecules are farther apart in a rarefaction reflection compression or refraction?
Rarefaction.
