The bunched up areas of particles in a longitudinal wave are called compressions. These regions have high density of particles due to the waves' alternating compressions and rarefactions as they pass through a medium.
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
A section of a longitudinal wave where the particles are less crowded than normal is called a rarefaction. In this region, the particles experience lower pressure and density compared to the surrounding areas.
A longitudinal wave has areas where particles are spread out. In this type of wave, particles move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, causing areas of compression (particles close together) and rarefaction (particles spread out). Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
The less dense region of a longitudinal wave is called a rarefaction. In this region, the particles are spread apart, leading to a decrease in density compared to the surrounding areas.
The region where the medium is crowded and dense in a longitudinal wave is called a compression. In a compression, the particles of the medium are closer together, leading to an increase in density and pressure compared to areas where the particles are more spread out (rarefaction).

A region of decreased pressure in a longitudinal wave is called a rarefaction. Rarefactions occur when the particles in the medium are spread out, resulting in a decrease in pressure compared to the surrounding areas.
These waves are called sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical waves that travel through a medium, such as air or water, in the form of compressions (areas where particles are close together) and rarefactions (areas where particles are spread apart).
A rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread out, resulting in a decrease in pressure and density compared to the surrounding areas. It is the opposite of a compression, where particles are closer together and pressure is higher.
The region of a longitudinal wave where the density and pressure are less than normal is called rarefaction. In this region, particles are more spread out and the pressure is lower than in surrounding areas.
The area on a compressional wave where particles are spread out is called a rarefaction. In a rarefaction, the particles are further apart compared to the surrounding areas where they are closer together. This alternating pattern of compressions and rarefactions is characteristic of a longitudinal wave such as a sound wave.
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that propagates through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in alternating areas of compression and rarefaction. Compression refers to areas where particles are close together, while rarefaction refers to areas where particles are spread out.
A rarefaction in a longitudinal wave is a region where the particles are spread out, resulting in a decrease in density compared to the surrounding areas. This corresponds to a point of minimum pressure or minimum displacement in the wave.
