When a liquid or gas is heated, the molecules move faster, bump into each other, and spread apart. Because the molecules are spread apart, they take up more space. They are less dense. The opposite occurs when a liquid or gas is cooled.

True or false A rarefaction is a region in the medium in which molecules are?

True. A rarefaction is a region in the medium where molecules are spread farther apart, leading to a decrease in density. This occurs in a longitudinal wave when the particles temporarily move apart.
