Want this question answered?
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.
According to my textbook it says rarefaction, is the less dense region of a longitudinal wave
The membrane (such as you eardrum) vibrates.
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
All of it.

Longitudinal Wave
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
It is called a compression.
