What does a rarefraction mean?

A rarefaction is a decrease in density or pressure in a medium, typically related to the spreading out of waves. In the context of sound waves, rarefaction is the region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are farther apart.

What is an example of rarefaction?

Rarefraction is part of asound wave where the particles of the medium through which it is travelling are spread out.


What is a region of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave?

A region of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave is called a compression. Compressions occur when particles are closer together, resulting in higher pressure.


Which part of a compressional wave has the lowest density?

Compression is the region of a longitudinal wave in which the density and pressure are at a maximum. Rarefaction is the region of a longitudinal wave in which the density and pressure are at a minimum.
