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.
What of a sound wave is the distance between a compression or rarefaction and the next compression or rarefaction?
It is equal to wavelength.
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.
What is the opposite of rarefaction?
compression
Molecules are farther apart in a rarefaction reflection compression or refraction?
Rarefaction.
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 do the combination of a compression and a rarefaction create?
They form a compression wave.
What is the difference between compression and rarefaction?
compression waves the moving particles move backwards and forward in the same direction as the energy transfer.
What is the difference between a compression and a refraction?
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure
How do the coils in a compression compare to the coils in a rarefaction?
me
What is the dense region of a compression wave?
rarefaction
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.
