The less dense region of a compression wave is called?
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
What wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions?
it is compressional wave. Compressional waves are a type of sound wave.
A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and what?
As sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, sound has a series of compressions and rarefactions.To explain a bit more, compressions are the squeezes of the wave while rarefactions are the stretches of the wave.
Do compressions and rarefactions decompressions in a sound wave travel in the same direction or in opposite directions from one another?
Rarefactions decompressions travel in the same direction, because sound are longitudinal waves.
Which term describes the distance between any two crests in a transverse wave or the distance betweeen any two rarefactions in a longitudinal wave?
The wavelength
What is the compressions and rarefactions of a wave?
Neon cat
What type of wave has rarefactions?
Longitudinal waves.

What wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions?
it is compressional wave. Compressional waves are a type of sound wave.
What is meant by the term 'longtitudinal wave'?
A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of the wave vibrate/oscillate in the same direction as the direction of propagation of the wave.They are formed by alternate compressions and rarefactions in the wave medium. There is an increase in pressure at the compressions and a decrease in pressure at the rarefactions. Hence, they are also called pressure.A sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave.(check the related link for an illustration)
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
How does a longitudinal wave travel?
With the help of compressions and rarefactions longitudinal waves get propagated.
What type of wave passes through the spring in the frog toy?
Longitudinal wave
What is the distance between two rarefactions that are next to each other called?
wave length.
A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and what?
As sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, sound has a series of compressions and rarefactions.To explain a bit more, compressions are the squeezes of the wave while rarefactions are the stretches of the wave.
What are the names for the bunching up of air that carries though a sound wave?
Compressions their inverse are rarefactions
How does sound travel through?
sound is a lonitudnal wave nd travels in the form of compressions and rarefactions..
