When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.

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 is longitudinal ( compression) wave?
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
What is the distances between compression and rarefaction of longitudinal wave?
Compression is the areas where the particles are closer together. Rarefaction is the areas where the particles are stretched apart.
A trough in a transverse wave corresponds to a in a longitudinal wave?
If you are looking for a true/false answer, it's false.
What is equivalent to a crest and a trough in a longitudinal wave?
rarefaction is equivalent to trough and compression is equivalnet to crest

Is a sonic wave a longitudinal wave?
No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
What types of wave does rarefaction and compression?
this kind of wave that includes compressional and rarefaction is called a longitudinal wave.

What is equivalent to a crest and a trough in a longitudinal wave?
rarefaction is equivalent to trough and compression is equivalnet to crest
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.
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.
What are the stretched areas of a longitudinal wave?
rarefaction
Are surface waves compression waves?
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.
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.
