Compressions and rarefactions are kinds of?
They are the characteristics of waves ( both longitudinal and transverse waves).
Are the waves formed by sound transverse waves?
They are longitudinal waves. Because they form compressions & rarefactions when they move.
Compressions and rarefactions are sections of?
Sound Waves
What is difference between crest and rarefaction?
Transverse waves have crests & troughs ,Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions . rarefaction is a pulling force it is a point when least force is applied
How do the vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves?
The vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves by compressions and rarefactions in air particles.
Do transverse have compressions and rarefactions?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.

Is there any possibility that transverse and longitudional waves are interchangible?
Both are forms of mechanical waves but moves or travels differently. Transverse travels perpendicular to it waves while longitudinal are made up of compressions and rarefactions, so no their not interchangeable.

What are the kinds of waving?
There are two basic types of waves : transverse and longitudinal. Transverse waves are like a wavy line. They consist of a single pulse of energy moving in a curved and wavy way. Light waves are transverse. Longitudinal waves consist of rarefactions and compressions. In a rarefaction, the particles are very sparse. In a compression, the particles are very dense. Sound waves are longitudinal.
How does a longitudinal wave travel?
With the help of compressions and rarefactions longitudinal waves get propagated.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
Is it true that electromagnetic waves are characterized by rarefactions and compressions?
No. Those phenomena are characteristic of longitudinal waves, such as for example sound waves.
What is the vibration of sound waves on eardrums?
The vibrations caused by sound waves onto your eardrums are pressure compressions and rarefactions.
How do the vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves?
The vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves by compressions and rarefactions in air particles.
