Yes, compression and rarefaction create a cycle known as a sound wave. In this cycle, the compression represents the high-pressure regions of the wave, while the rarefaction represents the low-pressure regions. Together, they form a repeating pattern that propagates the sound wave through a medium.
What else can I help you with?
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 of a sound wave is the distance between a compression or rarefaction and the next compression or rarefaction?
The wavelength of a sound wave is the distance between a compression (high pressure) or rarefaction (low pressure) and the next compression or rarefaction. It is the physical length of one cycle of the wave and is typically measured in meters.
What is the distance between adjacent wave compression?
That is called the wavelength.
What is one wavelength in a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, one wavelength is the distance from one compression (or rarefaction) to the next compression (or rarefaction). This distance represents one complete cycle of the wave, where the particles oscillate back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
What is the relative spacing of molecules as they are affected by compression and rarefaction?
Compression decreases the spacing between molecules, making them closer together. Rarefaction increases the spacing between molecules, causing them to move further apart. This cycle occurs in a repeating pattern in a sound wave.

What is the distance from one compression to the next in a sound wave?
The distance between one compression and the next in a sound wave is called the wavelength. It represents the physical length of a single cycle of compression and rarefaction in the wave. The wavelength is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with shorter wavelengths corresponding to higher frequencies.
Where does rarefaction occur?
When something vibrates, like a loudspeaker, it compresses the air and increases the pressure of the air when it moves out. When the loudspeaker moves in it creates a partial vacum and a decrease in air pressure. The increase/decrease in air pressure is propagated thru the air (or any medium),as a longitudinal wave, by pushing the air in front of it. The part of the cycle which produces the decrease in pressure is called a "rarefacation" of the air.
How many vibrations are there in 1 wavelength?
In one wavelength, there is one complete cycle of a wave, which includes one compression and one rarefaction in a sound wave. Therefore, there is one vibration in one wavelength.
What is the distance between 2 compressions or 2 rarefactions?
The distance between two compressions or two rarefactions in a wave is half of the wavelength. This is because a compression and a rarefaction together make one complete cycle of the wave, which corresponds to one full wavelength.
What is the compression cycle?
the vapor compression cycle is the cycle used in the process of the refrigerator. for more info go to www.wikipedia.com . thanx for asking ur questions!!!!! ~tammie

How does rarefraction affect sound?
Rarefaction is the part of the sound wave where the air particles are the farthest apart from each other. It's like the "trough" of a transverse wave. The size of this part affects the wavelength and amplitude of the sound produced, which changes the volume and pitch. Note that there's also another part of the wave called "compression". This is like the "peak" of a transverse wave.
