rarefaction
The region where the medium is crowded and dense in a longitudinal wave is called compression. In this region, the particles of the medium are close together, resulting in increased pressure.
The compression region of a compressional wave, also known as a rarefaction wave, is where the medium particles are crowded and dense. This occurs when the particles are pushed together, resulting in a region of increased pressure and density compared to the surrounding areas.
The less dense part of a longitudinal wave is called the rarefaction. It is the region where the particles are spread out and have lower pressure compared to the denser region called compression in a longitudinal wave.
The region where the medium is crowded and dense in a longitudinal wave is called a compression. In a compression, the particles of the medium are closer together, leading to an increase in density and pressure compared to areas where the particles are more spread out (rarefaction).
Compression affects the propagation of a longitudinal wave by increasing the density of the medium, which in turn increases the speed of the wave. This results in the wave traveling faster through the compressed region compared to a less dense region.
Rarefaction is the less dense part of a compression wave where the particles are spread apart.
In the compression part of a wave, the medium is more dense as the particles are packed closely together. In the rarefied area, the medium is less dense and the particles are further apart.
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
A region of high density in a wave is called a compression. In a compression, the particles are closely packed together, resulting in an increased pressure in that area.
The high pressure region of a longitudinal wave is called compression.
It is referred to as a compression. The non-dense zone with few molecules is referred to as a rarefaction.
