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.
What else can I help you with?
Molecules are farther apart in a rarefaction reflection compression or refraction?
Rarefaction.
Which part of a longitudinal wave is spread out?
RAREFRACTION
What is the difference between a compression and a refraction?
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure
How are longitudinal waves used in communication?
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
What is an example of rarefaction?
Rarefraction is part of asound wave where the particles of the medium through which it is travelling are spread out.
A region of spread out particles ina compressional wave is called?
I believe you are referring to rarefaction. The "trough" of a compression / rarefaction wave is called rarefaction.
Did the compression and rarefaction occur at same time?
Compression and rarefaction occur simultaneously in a wave. In the context of sound waves, as a compression phase pushes air molecules together, a rarefaction phase follows where the molecules are spread apart. This alternating pattern of high and low pressure travels through the medium, resulting in the propagation of the wave. Thus, while they represent opposite phases, they are part of the same continuous wave cycle occurring together.
What rhymes with rarefaction?
There are no perfect rhymes for the word rarefaction.
Molecules are farther apart in a rarefaction reflection compression or refraction?
Rarefaction.
What happens when rarefaction and compression occur when a sound is made?
During rarefaction, air particles are spread apart, creating a low-pressure region. This causes the sound wave to be at a minimum amplitude. During compression, air particles are pushed together, creating a high-pressure region and a peak in the sound wave's amplitude. These alternating patterns of rarefaction and compression create the vibrations that we perceive as sound.
Rarefaction occurs only in?
Rarefaction occurs in longitudinal waves when the particles in the medium are spread further apart, resulting in a decrease in density and pressure. This phenomenon is typically observed in sound waves as they travel through a medium.
What types of wave does rarefaction and compression?
this kind of wave that includes compressional and rarefaction is called a longitudinal wave.
What is the opposite of rarefaction?
compression
What is difference between crest and rarefaction?
A crest is the highest point of a wave, while a rarefaction is the lowest point of a wave. In other words, the crest is the peak of the wave, and the rarefaction is the trough or dip. Together, the crest and rarefaction make up the waveform of a wave.
What are the 2 main type of waves?
Waves in Air give a great example: they occur in two types - compression [compressed Air] and rarefaction [expanded or decompressed Air] Waves.
What is rarefacation?
Rarefaction is the process of decreasing the density of a substance or the reduction of pressure in a medium. In terms of sound waves, rarefaction refers to the region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart. It is the opposite of compression in a wave.
Why is produced rarefaction and condensation during the sound travlling in the medium?
Why is produced rarefaction and condensation during the sound travelling in the medium?
