The places in a wave where the coils are spread apart are called troughs. Troughs are the lowest points of a wave where the amplitude is most negative.
In a longitudinal wave moving along a spring, the areas where the coils are the farthest apart are called rarefactions. These are regions of lower density and pressure in the wave where the coils are spread out.
The region where coils are farthest apart for a compressional wave on a spring coil is the rarefaction zone. In this area, the coils are spread out, producing a lower density of coils compared to the rest of the spring.
The region where coils are farthest apart for a compressional wave on a spring coil is known as the rarefaction region. In this area, the coils are spread out, creating a region of lower density or pressure compared to the rest of the coil. This is where the wave experiences maximum displacement and expansion.
The region in a compressional wave where coils are squeezed together is called the compression or condensation. This is where the particles are closest together, leading to an increase in pressure.
In a compression, the coils of a wave are more tightly packed together, which results in higher pressure and density in the medium. In contrast, in a rarefaction, the coils are more spread out, leading to lower pressure and density in the medium.

The spring has been stretched. When the coils are squeezed together then the spring has been compressed.

In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart

a slinky spread out and then grab a few coils and release and watch a compressional wave! Another example is a sound wave. the particles compressed together form a compression. The particles more widely spread apart form a rarefaction.slinkySound waveCompressional waves are also called mechanical waves. Examples include the plasma waves or guided waves.
