What is compression and rarefaction with respect to sound?
Answers
A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together and a rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart.
Answer:
compression is the high density region of the wave particles and rarefaction is the low density region of the wave particles.
Explanation:
Sound is the form of energy which enable us to hear.
It is produced by the vibration of the particles.It needs medium for the propagation.without medium it does not travel like in vacuum. It consist of compression and rarefaction.compression is the high density (particles are very close to each other)region of the wave particles and rarefaction is the low density(particles are far from each other) region of the wave particles.
