Compression is the increase in pressure or density of a medium, causing the particles to be closer together. Rarefaction is the decrease in pressure or density of a medium, causing the particles to be farther apart. In a sound wave, compression corresponds to the higher pressure points while rarefaction corresponds to the lower pressure points.
What else can I help you with?
What are areas of compression and rarefraction?
In a sound wave, compression areas are where the air particles are closely packed together, resulting in high pressure. Rarefaction areas are where the air particles are spread out, resulting in low pressure. These alternating areas of compression and rarefaction create the vibrations that we perceive as sound.
What is a region of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave?
A region of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave is called a compression. Compressions occur when particles are closer together, resulting in higher pressure.
What does a combination of a compression and a rarefraction create?
A compression and a rarefaction together create a sound wave in a medium. This alternating pattern of high-pressure zones (compressions) and low-pressure zones (rarefactions) propagates through the medium, carrying the energy of the sound wave.
What is the increase in density of a medium due to wave travel called?
The density of a medium directly affects the density of the sound waves. High particle density is called compression while low particle density is called rarefraction.
A point of highest density in a longitudinal wave?
The point of highest density in a longitudinal wave is at the compression stage, where particles are closest together. This is due to the wave causing particles to compress and rarefy as it travels through a medium.
What would you look for in order to determine whether a wave is longitudinal?
compression and rarefraction
What are areas of compression and rarefraction and in which type of waves do they apply?
i don't know but the last comment was very inappropriate.
What is a series of compression and rarefactions travel through a medium?
a series copression and rarefraction traving through a medium

The spot with the highest crest or compression is produced through what interference?
Crest is the highest point for the Transerve wave. Trough is the lowest point of the Transerve wave. Compression is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are croweded. Rarefraction is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are spread aprat.
What does a combination of a compression and a rarefraction create?
A compression and a rarefaction together create a sound wave in a medium. This alternating pattern of high-pressure zones (compressions) and low-pressure zones (rarefactions) propagates through the medium, carrying the energy of the sound wave.
What does rarefraction mean?
The spreading of molecules of sound. :)
What is the increase in density of a medium due to wave travel called?
The density of a medium directly affects the density of the sound waves. High particle density is called compression while low particle density is called rarefraction.
What is a region increased pressure in a longitudinal wave?
rarefraction
Which part of a compressional wave has the lowest density?
Compression is the region of a longitudinal wave in which the density and pressure are at a maximum. Rarefaction is the region of a longitudinal wave in which the density and pressure are at a minimum.
What are areas of compression and rarefraction and in which type of wave do they apply?
Compression is the area of high pressure, where particles are closer together, while rarefaction is the area of low pressure, where particles are farther apart. These terms apply to all types of waves, including sound waves and seismic waves.
