It is the distance between two points of maximum compression (or minimum compression).
The distance from one compression to the next compression in a longitudinal wave is called the wavelength. This distance is often used to measure the size of the wave and determine its frequency.
The measure from one compression to the next compression of a longitudinal wave is the wavelength. It represents the distance between two consecutive points in the wave that are in the same phase (e.g., both compressions or rarefactions). It is usually denoted by the symbol lambda (λ).
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
The distance from one compression to the next compression in a longitudinal wave is called the wavelength. This distance is often used to measure the size of the wave and determine its frequency.

No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
Longitudinal (also called compression) wave
The crest of a transverse wave corresponds to the compression region in a longitudinal wave. Both represent the highest point of displacement or disturbance in their respective wave types.
No, the distance between one compression and the next compression in a longitudinal wave is its wavelength, not its amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position as the wave passes through it.
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
The compression in a longitudinal wave can be thought of as the regions where the particles are closest together, which corresponds to the crest of the wave. This is where the wave is most compacted and has the highest density of particles.
The high pressure region of a longitudinal wave is called compression.
