A region of spread out particles ina compressional wave is called?
I believe you are referring to rarefaction. The "trough" of a compression / rarefaction wave is called rarefaction.
What is a compressional wave?
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

Where can a compressional wave be found?
In a Slinky.R
What are the highest points on a standing wave called?
When the trough of a wave and the crest of a different wave meet, the waves cancel completely. This is called destructive interference.
Expansion and contraction of the rock material through which a wave passes is a characteristic of?
compressional waves
When the particles of a wave are far apart what is the part of the wave called?
I
When the particles of a medium are far apart that particle of the wave is called a?
when the particles of the medium are far apart, that part of the wave is called a?
What is the spread apart portion of a compressional wave?
Wavelength
What wave are areas where particles spread out?
Longitudanal or compressional waves
What kind of wave has areas where particles are spread out?
compressional waves
What wave has areas where particles are spread out?
Longitudanal or compressional waves
What wave is example of a compressional wave?
a slinky spread out and then grab a few coils and release and watch a compressional wave! Another example is a sound wave. the particles compressed together form a compression. The particles more widely spread apart form a rarefaction.slinkySound waveCompressional waves are also called mechanical waves. Examples include the plasma waves or guided waves.
When particles of a medium are far apart that part of a wave is called a?
A Transverse Wave
Wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels?
a compressional wave
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.
In particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
The answer is a compressional wave (;
In what do the particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
compressional wave
