Compression refers to a decrease in the volume of a substance, often resulting in an increase in pressure. Refraction refers to the bending of light or other waves as they pass through different mediums of varying densities, causing a change in the direction of propagation.
In compression, the particles in a slinky are pushed closer together, increasing the density and creating a temporary increase in pressure. In refraction, the particles are spread apart, decreasing the density and creating a temporary decrease in pressure. This causes the slinky to stretch and compress as the wave travels through it.
Sound energy travels in a compression wave, where particles are pushed together to create areas of high pressure and rarefaction as they move through a medium.
When light passes through a surface and changes direction due to refraction, the normal is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point where the light ray meets it. This line helps determine the angle of incidence and angle of refraction, which are crucial in understanding how light behaves when it enters a different medium.
Perhaps you are confusing with "refraction"? Refraction means that when a wave goes from one substance to another (for example, from air to water), it changes its direction. This is related with the index of refraction in the different substances, i.e., the wave has a different speed in the different substances.
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave changes speed and direction as it travels from one medium to another, due to the change in its wave velocity and the change in the medium's optical density.
Rarefaction.
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure
Check spelling and ask again-do you need reflection or refraction
what is the meant by total internal reflection

Compression joint is a term typically used in construction. It's a bell and spigot joint that becomes watertight when the spigot is pressed into a compression gasket in the bell.
That is not a word , as written, - but if you meant 'compression', it means squeezing something together.
