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.

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.
