An oscilloscope is a device that views electrical current or other oscillations on a cathode ray tube screen. A compression wave, meanwhile, is a type of wave that forms rarefaction when it moves down a channel.

What is the spread apart portion of a compressional wave?
Wavelength
What makes up a frequency in a compressional wave?
Think about it.
An oscilloscope can be used to produce visible pictures of sound waves. If an oscilloscope is used to measure the distance between the crests of a sound wave what property of the wave will it be measu?
Wavelenght
In a compressional wave one wavelength is the distance between adjacent compressions or adjacent?
sound wave
Matter in the medium moves forward and backward what is that called?
A wave.A wave.A wave.A wave.
Is a compressional wave a sound wave?
Compressional!
What kinda of wave is a compressional wave?
A compressional wave is a primary wave
Is a compressional wave mechanical or compressional?
compressional
What is found in a compressional wave?
A rarefaction is found in a compressional wave
Is a sound wave compressional or transverse?
Compressional
What is a compressional wave?
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

What wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions?
it is compressional wave. Compressional waves are a type of sound wave.
Why alternate current is taken as sinusoidal wave why not ramp or step wave?
sinusoidal Wave is the description of the shape that is seen on a oscilloscope display of, for example, true "House Current" The ramp wave form and step wave form are sharply different in shape and can cause problems with some electrical devices
Another name for a compressional wave?
Sound wave
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
What wave has the matter move in the same direction as the wave?
compressional wave
Does the oscilloscope shows the sound wave as a static wave?
no.
