Rarefaction is the opposite of compression, and is a lowering of pressure. You can produce many simply by talking; sound waves consist of both. Other ways would be to induce a (partial) vacuum by sucking through a straw or turning on a vacuum cleaner.

Compressions and rarefactions are sections of?
Sound Waves
How do the vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves?
The vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves by compressions and rarefactions in air particles.
Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
Do compressions and rarefactions decompressions in a sound wave travel in the same direction or in opposite directions from one another?
Rarefactions decompressions travel in the same direction, because sound are longitudinal waves.
The less dense region of a compression wave is called?
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
Do transverse have compressions and rarefactions?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
Why do compressions and rarefactions occur alternatively?
because the particles vibrate back and forth due to which compression and rarefactions are made
What is the compressions and rarefactions of a wave?
Neon cat
What type of wave has rarefactions?
Longitudinal waves.
Compressions and rarefactions are sections of?
Sound Waves
What are the events that occur starting from an object vibrating to you hearing the sound?
When an object vibrates it produces disturbance in the medium and then the compressions and rarefactions produced travels through the medium to our ears from the vibrator and hence the sound is perceived.
What matter has particles that are far apart?
Rarefactions
How do the vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves?
The vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves by compressions and rarefactions in air particles.
Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?

Do compressions and rarefactions decompressions in a sound wave travel in the same direction or in opposite directions from one another?
Rarefactions decompressions travel in the same direction, because sound are longitudinal waves.
In longitudinal waves in a spring the parts where the coils are spread out are called?
rarefactions
The less dense region of a compression wave is called?
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
