What is the opposite of a compression wave?

The opposite of a compression wave is a rarefaction wave. In a compression wave, particles are close together, whereas in a rarefaction wave, particles are spread out.


A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?

In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.


What is the spread out portion of a compression wave called?

The spread out portion of a compression wave is called a rarefaction. In a compression wave, the particles are compressed together in the compression phase and spread out in the rarefaction phase.


What is sound of wave?

A compression wave.


Where is the compression of a wave located?

The compression of a wave is located where the particles of the medium are closest together.


What is the distance from the compression to the next compression in longitudinal wave called?

The distance from one compression to the next compression in a longitudinal wave is called the wavelength. This distance is often used to measure the size of the wave and determine its frequency.


Is a sonic wave a longitudinal wave?

No, a compression-rarefaction wave.


What is a compression wave of gas liquid or solid that is detected by your ear?

A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.


Is the distance from one compression to the next compression is the amplitude of a longitudinal dinal wave?

No, the distance between one compression and the next compression in a longitudinal wave is its wavelength, not its amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position as the wave passes through it.


Is a compression wave a sound wave?

yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave


What is wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?

Compression wave


Is a water wave a compression wave?

No, a water wave is a surface wave that involves the transfer of energy through the movement of water particles in a circular motion. It is not a compression wave, which involves the propagation of compression and rarefaction regions through a medium, like in sound waves.
