The part of a sound wave where the molecules are spread apart is called?
compression
What makes up a frequency in a compressional wave?
Think about it.
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.
In a stretched spring several coils are pinched together and others are spread farther apart than usualwhat sort of wave is this?
Surface wave
What wave is example of a compressional wave?
a slinky spread out and then grab a few coils and release and watch a compressional wave! Another example is a sound wave. the particles compressed together form a compression. The particles more widely spread apart form a rarefaction.slinkySound waveCompressional waves are also called mechanical waves. Examples include the plasma waves or guided waves.
What kind of wave has areas where particles are spread out?
compressional waves
What wave are areas where particles spread out?
Longitudanal or compressional waves
What wave has areas where particles are spread out?
Longitudanal or compressional waves
Is a compressional wave a sound wave?
Compressional!
What kinda of wave is a compressional wave?
A compressional wave is a primary wave
Which one of the following is NOT an example of a compressional wave a wave moving through a coiled spring sound traveling through the air sound traveling through water green light traveling thru air?
Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.
Is a compressional wave mechanical or compressional?
compressional
What is an example of compressional waves?

The particles more widely spread apart form a rarefaction.slinkySound waveCompressional waves are also called mechanical waves. Examples include the plasma waves or guided waves.
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 part of a compressional wave where the particles are far apart?
A rarefaction., in contrast to a compression.
