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 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.
A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?
CREST
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 the measure from one compression to the next compression of a longitudinal wave?
Speed.
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.
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.
Is a sonic wave a longitudinal wave?
No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?
CREST
The crest of a transverse wave similar to what on a longitudinal wave?
compression
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 are sound waves A Standing wave B Transverse wave C Longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal (also called compression) wave
What is the measure from one compression to the next compression of a longitudinal wave?
Speed.
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.
Is the distance from one compression to the next compression is the amplitude of a longitudinal dinal wave?
True
What is the region where the medium is crowded and dense in a longitudinal wave?
Compression
What is a wave in which the disturbance of the medium is in the same direction as the wave motion?
The correct answer is: longitudinal or compression.
Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?
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.
