When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
It is equal to wavelength.
Rarefaction only occurs in a longitudinal wave. Rarefaction is the reduction of the density of a medium. It is the opposite of compression.
They form a compression wave.
Compression is the areas where the particles are closer together. Rarefaction is the areas where the particles are stretched apart.
An oscilloscope is a device that views electrical current or other oscillations on a cathode ray tube screen. A compression wave, meanwhile, is a type of wave that forms rarefaction when it moves down a channel.

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