In a longitudinalwave moving along a spring areas where the coils are the farthest apart are called?

rarefactions


Which one of the following is NOT an example of a compressional wave a wave moving through a coiled spring sound traveling through the air sound traveling through water green light traveling thru air?

Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.


Molecules are spaced farthest apart in?

Molecules are, in general, farthest apart from one another in the gas phase.


What makes up a wavelength in a compressional wave?

In air,as you move along the wave the molecules go through a cycle where in one region they are closer together and then farther down there is another region where they are further apart. This cycle repeats. The Length of one of these cycles is the wavelength. Go to the Related Links below for good animations.


What is an example of compressional waves?

a slinky spread out and then grab a few coils and release and watch a compressional wave! Another example is a sound wave. the particles compressed together form a compression. The particles more widely spread apart form a rarefaction.slinkySound waveCompressional waves are also called mechanical waves. Examples include the plasma waves or guided waves.

How the spacing between coils of a sring change if the amplitude of compressional waves travling along the spring increases?

if you squeeze a part of the spring close together the other part of the spring is going to be more apart .


Explain how the spacing between coils of a spring changes as the amplitude of a compressional wave traveling along the spring increases?

In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart


How the spacing between coils of spring changes as the amplitude of a compressional wave traveling along the spring increase?

In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart. So this is how it increases.
