Crest is the highest point for the Transerve wave.
Trough is the lowest point of the Transerve wave.
Compression is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are croweded.
Rarefraction is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are spread aprat.
The colors in soap bubbles are produced by the interference and reflection of light waves as they pass through the thin film of soap. The film thickness determines which colors are visible through interference.

Sound travels to us through compression waves in the air. These waves are created by vibrations produced by a source, such as a speaker or instrument. As the waves travel through the air, they cause changes in pressure that our ears can detect and interpret as sound.
The point of highest density in a longitudinal wave is at the compression stage, where particles are closest together. This is due to the wave causing particles to compress and rarefy as it travels through a medium.
Butane is typically produced as a byproduct of natural gas processing and crude oil refining. It is separated from other hydrocarbons through processes like fractionation, compression, and distillation. Butane can also be produced synthetically through the catalytic dehydrogenation of butanes or by converting isobutene to butane.
Sound quality is the term for the bending of overlapping sound wave frequencies through interference.
When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another, it is called wave interference. This can result in constructive interference, where the waves amplify each other, or destructive interference, where they cancel each other out.
Compression testing is done on engines and it establishes whether the engine has good compression. Good compression is needed for the engine to start easily and run efficiently.
Energy is transferred through substances in compression waves by causing particles in the material to move back and forth in the direction of wave propagation. This movement results in areas of compression and rarefaction as the wave travels through the medium.
To create a compression wave in a slinky, you can compress one end and release it quickly. The compression will travel through the slinky as a wave, with the coils getting closer together and then returning to their original spacing. This is similar to how energy is transferred through a medium in a compression wave.
When two or more waves travel through the same medium and their displacements combine, it is called interference. Interference can result in the waves reinforcing each other (constructive interference) or canceling each other out (destructive interference).
A compression wave diagram illustrates how energy is transmitted through a medium by showing areas of high and low pressure as the wave moves through.
