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 compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.


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 compression and a rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?

When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.


What are sound waves A Standing wave B Transverse wave C Longitudinal wave?

The crest of a transverse wave similar to what on a longitudinal 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.


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.


If you were to draw a longitudinal wave you should think of the compression as a?

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.


What is the high pressure region of a longitudinal wave called?

The high pressure region of a longitudinal wave is called compression.


What is the part of a longitudinal wave called when its close together?

The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are close together is called a compression. In a compression, the particles are densely packed and have higher pressure compared to other parts of the wave.


What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?

Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
