Molecules are farther apart in a rarefaction reflection compression or refraction?
Rarefaction.
Which part of a longitudinal wave is spread out?
RAREFRACTION
What is the difference between a compression and a refraction?
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure
How are longitudinal waves used in communication?
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
Where does rarefaction occur?
When something vibrates, like a loudspeaker, it compresses the air and increases the pressure of the air when it moves out. When the loudspeaker moves in it creates a partial vacum and a decrease in air pressure. The increase/decrease in air pressure is propagated thru the air (or any medium),as a longitudinal wave, by pushing the air in front of it. The part of the cycle which produces the decrease in pressure is called a "rarefacation" of the air.
Rarefaction occurs only in?
Rarefaction only occurs in a longitudinal wave. Rarefaction is the reduction of the density of a medium. It is the opposite of compression.
What rhymes with rarefaction?
There are no perfect rhymes for the word rarefaction.
What is a real life example of rarefaction?
When a sound wave travels through air you get a succession of compressions and rarefactions
Molecules are farther apart in a rarefaction reflection compression or refraction?
Rarefaction.
Where is a place where molecules are far apart?
The Answer is rarefaction.
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 the name of the process whereby a material is made less dense?
rarefaction
What types of wave does rarefaction and compression?
this kind of wave that includes compressional and rarefaction is called a longitudinal wave.
What is a part of a compressional wave where the particles are far apart?
A rarefaction., in contrast to a compression.
What is rarefacation?
Rarefaction is the reduction of an items density. Rarefaction is the opposite of compression. It is a technique to look at a species richness.
What is compression and a rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
What is the opposite of rarefaction?
compression
