What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
What are the areas of a sound wave where the molecules in the medium are packed closer together?
Type your answer here... this is called a compression, and when they are spread apart it is called a rarefaction
Compression waves that can be heard?
Compression waves happen when particles within a wave are close together rather than spread out. Anything that has a sound is a compression wave that can be heard.
The less dense region of a compression wave is called?
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
What is the part of a longitudinal wave called when its close together?
It is called a compression.
The part of a sound wave where the molecules are spread apart is called?
compression
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 is the crowding together of molecules called?
a compression wave is the crowding of molecules a rarefaction is spread apart molecules

What is the spread apart portion of a compressional wave?
Wavelength
The portion of a sound wave where the particles of the medium are pressed together is called?
The region of compression is where all the particles of the medium are closer to each other than usual. In a sound wave that usually means that the pressure in that area of compression is slightly greater than the mean pressure of the material in which the sound wave is traveling.
What indicates the amplitude of the wave?
The amplitude of a compressional wave, like a sound wave, is determined by the concentration of molecules in each compression. The higher the amplitude, or energy that a wave carries, the more compact the molecules are in a compression. The lower the amplitude, the more spread out those particles are. the amplitude of a compressional wave,like a sound wave,is determined by the contretration of waves in a compression
Which part of sound wave has molecules that are tightly packed together?
it is called the compression
The less dense region of a compression wave is called?
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
What is the amount of compression in a compressional wave called?
amplitude
