Question

5. A sound wave which propagates as series of compressions and rarefaction
is a_____wave
​

Answer 1

Answer:

these waves are longitudinal waves

Answer 2

$\huge \bold \color {red}{Longitudinal \: Wave}$

A longitudinal wave consists of a repeating pattern of compressions and rarefactions. Thus, the wavelength is commonly measured as the distance from one compression to the next adjacent compression or the distance from one rarefaction to the next adjacent rarefaction.
