Speed.
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.
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.
The compression of a longitudinal wave is measured by the measure of how close the particles in the medium are to each other when the wave is at its peak compression point. This can be quantified by measuring the density or pressure of the medium at that point.
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.

A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
In a longitudinal wave, one wavelength is the distance from one compression (or rarefaction) to the next compression (or rarefaction). This distance represents one complete cycle of the wave, where the particles oscillate back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
Longitudinal (also called compression) 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.
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
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.
