Rarefied air, for example is air that has been expanded to a large volume without the addition of more air into that volume. It has an extremely low density and lots of space in between molecules.
Compression is the opposite. You are 'squishing' that same sample of air (or whatever gas you're talking about) into a very tiny volume, without allowing any to escape. It has a much higher relative density that rarefied air.
What else can I help you with?
What are areas of compression and rarefraction?
In a sound wave, compression areas are where the air particles are closely packed together, resulting in high pressure. Rarefaction areas are where the air particles are spread out, resulting in low pressure. These alternating areas of compression and rarefaction create the vibrations that we perceive as sound.
Can you demonstrate what compression and rarefraction?
Compression is the increase in pressure or density of a medium, causing the particles to be closer together. Rarefaction is the decrease in pressure or density of a medium, causing the particles to be farther apart. In a sound wave, compression corresponds to the higher pressure points while rarefaction corresponds to the lower pressure points.
What is a region of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave?
A region of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave is called a compression. Compressions occur when particles are closer together, resulting in higher pressure.
What does a combination of a compression and a rarefraction create?
A compression and a rarefaction together create a sound wave in a medium. This alternating pattern of high-pressure zones (compressions) and low-pressure zones (rarefactions) propagates through the medium, carrying the energy of the sound wave.
What is the increase in density of a medium due to wave travel called?
The density of a medium directly affects the density of the sound waves. High particle density is called compression while low particle density is called rarefraction.
What would you look for in order to determine whether a wave is longitudinal?
compression and rarefraction
What is a series of compression and rarefactions travel through a medium?
a series copression and rarefraction traving through a medium
What are areas of compression and rarefraction and in which type of waves do they apply?
i don't know but the last comment was very inappropriate.
What is the difference between a compression and a refraction?
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure
What is the difference between tension and compression structures?
compression zone is an positive zone,tension zone is an negative zone..
What are areas of compression and rarefraction?
In a sound wave, compression areas are where the air particles are closely packed together, resulting in high pressure. Rarefaction areas are where the air particles are spread out, resulting in low pressure. These alternating areas of compression and rarefaction create the vibrations that we perceive as sound.
What is the difference in image quality between jpg 20 and jpg 100 compression levels?
The difference in image quality between JPG 20 and JPG 100 compression levels is that JPG 20 has higher compression, resulting in lower image quality and more visible compression artifacts, while JPG 100 has lower compression, resulting in higher image quality with less visible compression artifacts.
What is the primary difference between compression on an adult vs. a small child?

Difference between AC3 and AC3 plus?
AC3 is a digital 'audio compression' scheme. To understand the difference between AC3 and (enhanced) AC3 Plus, click the link: Audio Compression in the Related Links section below.
Can you demonstrate what compression and rarefraction?

What is a region of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave?
A region of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave is called a compression. Compressions occur when particles are closer together, resulting in higher pressure.
The spot with the highest crest or compression is produced through what interference?
Crest is the highest point for the Transerve wave. Trough is the lowest point of the Transerve wave. Compression is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are croweded. Rarefraction is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are spread aprat.
