What of a sound wave is the distance between a compression or rarefaction and the next compression or rarefaction?

It is equal to wavelength.


The distance between one point on a compression and the corresponding point on the next compression in a sound wave is called a?

wavelength


How do you measure the wavelength of sound?

distance from any point on the wave to the corresponding point beyond the next wavelength, i.e. crest to crest, trough to trough, or because you are talking about sound, the distance from compression to corresponding compression after the rarefaction.


Is the distance from one compression to the next compression is the amplitude of a longitudinal dinal wave?

What type of wave is sound wave?

A sound wave is considered a sinusoidal wave.


When you change the pitch of a sound what change in sound wave?

In sounds with higher pitches, the compressions that make up the sound are closer together; when the pitch is lower, they are farther apart. The wavelength of a sound, which is the distance from one compression to the next, is the speed of sound divided by the sound's frequency (pitch).
