Part of a sound wave where molecules are spread apart?
rarefaction having low pressure............
How does a sound wave move through molecules?
Sound wave travels from one part in to another part in air due to change in density of molecules from one point to another point
Is a water wave an example of a transverese wave motion or a compression?
Definitely compression, the reason it may look like transverse-seeing rising waves on a shore-is because the molecules spread out in the transverse direction when they are put under pressure in an axial direction.
What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
What are molecules in the compression part of a sound wave?
Sound waves that are compressed are made of (air) molecules that are more densely concentrated - that is (ie) more molecules are packed into the space of the compressed wave than there are in the (same) space of the surrounding expanded waves.
The part of a sound wave where the molecules are spread apart is called?
compression

Compression
What is the crowding together of molecules called?
a compression wave is the crowding of molecules a rarefaction is spread apart molecules

How does a sound wave move through molecules?
Sound wave travels from one part in to another part in air due to change in density of molecules from one point to another point
Which part of sound wave has molecules that are not tightly packed together?

Definitely compression, the reason it may look like transverse-seeing rising waves on a shore-is because the molecules spread out in the transverse direction when they are put under pressure in an axial direction.
Which part of a longitudinal wave is spread out?
RAREFRACTION
What indicates the amplitude of the wave?
The amplitude of a compressional wave, like a sound wave, is determined by the concentration of molecules in each compression. The higher the amplitude, or energy that a wave carries, the more compact the molecules are in a compression. The lower the amplitude, the more spread out those particles are. the amplitude of a compressional wave,like a sound wave,is determined by the contretration of waves in a compression
Which part of sound wave has molecules that are tightly packed together?
it is called the compression
