What term best describes an area of low density in a longitudinal wave?

Rarefaction. It refers to the region where the particles are spread apart, leading to a decrease in density in a longitudinal wave.

Ecosystem


What term describes the number of individuals of a species per unit area?

It is called population density.


Is Hawaii bigger than Alaska in terms of population density and area?

What is density when talking about mediums?

Density is the amount of (something) per unit (volume or area or length depending on the scenario). Mass density is the amount of mass per unit volume/area/length. If by medium you mean the medium through which a wave travels thru, then the density will primarily affect the velocity of the wave. Generally, sound/longitudinal waves have a velocity proportional to the density of the medium.


What are the parts to a longitudinal wave?

A longitudinal wave consists of compressions and rarefactions. In a compression, particles are close together, while rarefactions have particles spread out. This wave type propagates in the same direction as the energy transfer.


What term best describes the number of individuals of a given species per unit area?

Population density.


The term population density describe the relationship between?

Population density describes the relationship between the number of individuals in a specific area and the size of that area. It is calculated by dividing the total population by the total land area. A higher population density indicates a larger number of people living in a given area.


The area of longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are spread out?

The rarefaction is the area of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are spread out. This region is where the particles are farther apart compared to the rest of the wave.


What are the 3 properties of distribution in geography?

The three properties of distribution in geography are density, concentration, and pattern. Density refers to the number of a particular phenomenon within a given area. Concentration describes how closely packed or dispersed a phenomenon is in a given area. Pattern refers to the spatial arrangement of the distribution.


What is Hawaii Rank of nation?

It is #50 in terms of Statehood. It is #43 in terms of Area. It is #42 in terms of Population. It is #13 in terms of Population density. It ranks itself #1 in terms of raw beauty.


What is the difference between surface and density?

You cannot use surface area to calculate density. Density is a calculation comparing TOTAL area and weight of an object. In short you must use the total volume of the object when calculating the density.
