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.
It is called a compression.
If by pulse you mean where the wave is bunched together then it is called a compression.
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Longitudinal Wave
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
compression
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
