Question

which waves are transmitted by compression and rarefaction?​

Answer 1

Answer:

waves traveling through air are indeed longitudinal waves with compressions and rarefactions. As sound passes through air (or any fluid medium), the particles of air do not vibrate in a transverse manner.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Waves generated by a sound source are transmitted through compression and rarefaction.

• Sound waves are of three types.
• Longitudinal, Mechanical, and pressure waves are the type of sound waves.
• Compression means reducing compressing its volume.
• Rarefaction is reducing its density.
• Longitudinal sound waves are those travelling in air medium.
• Sound waves move in the air by the compression and rarefaction method.
