Question

The region in a sound wave, with higher pressure and density is called ............. and that with low pressure and density is called...........

Answer 1

The region in a sound wave, with higher pressure and density is called.. compression.. and that with low pressure and density is called..Rarefaction..

Sound waxes travel in longitudinal waves. Hence they have two different regions of pressure.

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

The region in a sound wave, with higher pressure and density is called compression and that with low pressure and density is called rarefaction.

● Extra information -

• Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
• They have compressions and rarefactions.
• Sound waves always need a medium to travel.
• Speed of sound is more in solid medium than liquid/gas.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
