Rarefaction is the opposite of compression, and is a lowering of pressure. You can produce many simply by talking; sound waves consist of both. Other ways would be to induce a (partial) vacuum by sucking through a straw or turning on a vacuum cleaner.
We dont know :/
The wavelength of a compressional wave is the distance between two adjacent compressions or rarefactions.
Longitudinal wave.
No, compressions and rarefactions are characteristics of longitudinal waves, not transverse waves. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
In rarefactions, particles in a medium become less dense, causing a decrease in pressure and creating regions of lower pressure in the wave. This leads to the spreading out of the wave and a decrease in the amplitude of the wave.

Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
because the particles vibrate back and forth due to which compression and rarefactions are made

When an object vibrates it produces disturbance in the medium and then the compressions and rarefactions produced travels through the medium to our ears from the vibrator and hence the sound is perceived.
Longitudinal wave.
No, compressions and rarefactions are characteristics of longitudinal waves, not transverse waves. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
Rarefactions are found in longitudinal waves, which are characterized by the oscillation of particles parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In a longitudinal wave, rarefactions are regions of decreased particle density or pressure.
In rarefactions, particles in a medium become less dense, causing a decrease in pressure and creating regions of lower pressure in the wave. This leads to the spreading out of the wave and a decrease in the amplitude of the wave.
Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates, creating compressions and rarefactions in the air particles surrounding it. These vibrations are transmitted through the air as longitudinal waves, with the air particles oscillating back and forth in the direction of the wave. Our ears detect these waves and interpret them as sound.
