In longitudinal waves in a spring the parts where the coils are spread out are called?
rarefactions
What is it called when the coils of a spring are spread out?
The spring has been stretched. When the coils are squeezed together then the spring has been compressed.
When a longitudinal wave carries energy through a spring the area where the coils of spring are closer together than they would be in the rest position is called?
Compression
Explain how the spacing between coils of a spring changes as the amplitude of a compressional wave traveling along the spring increases?
In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart
How the spacing between coils of spring changes as the amplitude of a compressional wave traveling along the spring increase?
In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart. So this is how it increases.

Compressions my teacher uses the same site for worksheets too email e if u get any more answers in feb im in waves
How does the spacing between coils of a spring changes as the amplitude of a compressional wave traveling along the spring increases?
For example, when you have a spring you pull it, and some of it is tight together, and some is spread out. The spread out part is called a Rarefaction and the tight part is compression. The direction it moves is movement of wave, and the opposite side is the movement of coil.
In longitude waves in a spring the parts where the coils are close together are called?
It is compressions
In a longitudinalwave moving along a spring areas where the coils are the farthest apart are called?
rarefactions
In a stretched spring several coils are pinched together and others are spread farther apart than usualwhat sort of wave is this?
Surface wave
When you squeeze together the coils of a spring and release them what type of wave are you creating?
longitudinal. this is like a sound/pressure wave or how automotive traffic flows. the other type of wave is a transverse wave which describes propagation of EM radiation.
