Compression waves themselves do not produce sound, as they are a type of mechanical wave that requires a medium to travel through. However, when a compression wave carries energy that causes the particles in the medium to vibrate and create sound, it can be perceived as loud depending on the intensity of the vibrations.
What else can I help you with?
What measures the force of a compression and describes how loud a sound is?
The force of compression in a sound wave is measured by its amplitude, which determines how loud the sound is perceived. Amplitude is the magnitude of the displacement of particles in the medium caused by the sound wave. A larger amplitude signifies a stronger compression, leading to a louder sound.
What is the opposite of a compression wave?
The opposite of a compression wave is a rarefaction wave. In a compression wave, particles are close together, whereas in a rarefaction wave, particles are spread out.
A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
What is the spread out portion of a compression wave called?
The spread out portion of a compression wave is called a rarefaction. In a compression wave, the particles are compressed together in the compression phase and spread out in the rarefaction phase.
Where is the compression of a wave located?
The compression of a wave is located where the particles of the medium are closest together.

Amplitude is the magnitude of the displacement of particles in the medium caused by the sound wave. A larger amplitude signifies a stronger compression, leading to a louder sound.
What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave

What is sound of wave?
A compression wave.
Where is the compression of a wave located?
The compression of a wave is located where the particles of the medium are closest together.
Is a sonic wave a longitudinal wave?
No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
What is the distance from the compression to the next compression in longitudinal wave called?
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.
What is a compression wave of gas liquid or solid that is detected by your ear?
A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
Is the distance from one compression to the next compression is the amplitude of a longitudinal dinal wave?
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.
