☞︎︎︎Compressions and rarefactions are produced because of the disturbance in medium caused by sound wave.
☞︎︎︎Sound waves propagate because of compressions and rarefactions of the particles of the medium.
☞︎︎︎Compressions are the regions of high pressure (high density of the particles).
☞︎︎︎ Rarefactions are the regions of low pressure ㅤㅤ(low density of the particles).
☞︎︎︎ When an object starts vibrating it creates ㅤㅤ ㅤdisturbance in the medium.
☞︎︎︎ Because of the disturbance of the particles of medium, they come closer to each other as compare to their normal position.
☞︎︎︎ On the other hand adjacent particles go farther to each other. Both happen simultaneously.
☞︎︎︎ The region where particles come closer to each other is called compressions and region where particles go farther from each other are called rarefactions.
