What of a sound wave is the distance between a compression or rarefaction and the next compression or rarefaction?
It is equal to wavelength.
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.
The propagation of sound waves in gas involves?
Adiabatic compression & rarefaction.
What is rare faction of sound wave?
A rare faction is an area of a sound wave where there is lesser compression of the medium,ie Rarefaction is the reduction of a medium's density, or the opposite of compression
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.

Adiabatic compression & rarefaction.
What is the section where a sound wave spreads apart?
It's called the rarefaction (as opposed to the compression)
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.
How are longitudinal waves used in communication?
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
What is rare faction of sound wave?
A rare faction is an area of a sound wave where there is lesser compression of the medium,ie Rarefaction is the reduction of a medium's density, or the opposite of compression
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 the opposite of rarefaction?
compression
Molecules are farther apart in a rarefaction reflection compression or refraction?
Rarefaction.
Area in which sound waves are pushed together?
This question is misguided. It is not the sound waves which are apart, but the particles of the medium. A place where the particles are further apart is called a rarefaction. Where they are crowded together is called a compression.
What do the combination of a compression and a rarefaction create?
They form a compression wave.
