What types of wave does rarefaction and compression?

this kind of wave that includes compressional and rarefaction is called a longitudinal wave.


What spread apart portion of a compressional wave?

The spread-apart portion of a compressional wave is called a rarefaction. In a compressional wave, particles are pushed together (compression) and then spread apart (rarefaction) as the wave passes through a medium.


Is a compression wave a sound wave?

yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave


How is the density at a compression in a compressional wave like the height of a transverse wave?

In a compressional wave, the density of the medium varies periodically as the wave travels through it. This variation corresponds to the peaks and troughs in a transverse wave, where the denser regions represent the peaks of compression and the less dense regions represent the troughs of rarefaction. However, in a compressional wave, this density variation occurs in the same direction as the wave propagation, whereas in a transverse wave it occurs perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.


What places in a compressional wave in which coils are squeezed together is called?

The region in a compressional wave where coils are squeezed together is called the compression or condensation. This is where the particles are closest together, leading to an increase in pressure.


Is a sound wave compressional or transverse?

A sound wave is a compressional wave, which means the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This compression and rarefaction of particles create the variations in pressure that we perceive as sound.


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 part of compressional waves has the area of greatest density?

The part of a compressional wave with the greatest density is the compression region, where particles are closest together due to the wave's compressional nature. This region represents the highest density of particles in the wave's pattern.


What is the region of a compressional wave where particles are close together called?

The region of a compressional wave where particles are close together is called the compression zone. In this zone, particles are crowded closely together, creating areas of high pressure.


Do the compression in a compressional wave correspond to the what of a transverse wave?

Yes, they are exactly analogous and corresponding.


What is a part of a compressional wave where the particles are far apart?

The rarefaction is the part of a compressional wave where particles are far apart. This is the region of low pressure in the wave, where particles are spread out compared to the other parts of the wave.


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.
