Perhaps you are confusing with "refraction"? Refraction means that when a wave goes from one substance to another (for example, from air to water), it changes its direction. This is related with the index of refraction in the different substances, i.e., the wave has a different speed in the different substances.

The part of a wave where molecules are spread out is under?
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 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.
Part of a sound wave where molecules are spread apart?
rarefaction having low pressure............
What is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart?
A longitudinal wave can go through solids, liquids, and gases.A transversal wave will usually only go through solids. (Electromagnetic waves, however, can also go through empty space.)
The part of a wave where molecules are spread out is under?
Rarefaction
What is a part of a compressional wave where the particles are far apart?
A rarefaction., in contrast to a compression.
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.
Which part of a longitudinal wave is spread out?
RAREFRACTION
What types of wave does rarefaction and compression?
this kind of wave that includes compressional and rarefaction is called a longitudinal wave.
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.
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.
Part of a sound wave where molecules are spread apart?
rarefaction having low pressure............
What is the term for the dense part of a longitudinal wave?
According to my textbook it says rarefaction, is the less dense region of a longitudinal wave
What is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart?
A longitudinal wave can go through solids, liquids, and gases.A transversal wave will usually only go through solids. (Electromagnetic waves, however, can also go through empty space.)
Is a sonic wave a longitudinal wave?
No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
What is the term for the less dense part of a longitudinal wave?
According to my textbook it says rarefaction, is the less dense region of a longitudinal wave
