|---|---|
| Rarefaction | The region of a longitudinal wave in which the density and pressure are less than normal. |
| Simple Harmonic Motion | Vibration about an equilibrium position in which a restoring force is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. |
Which of the following region of a sound wave in which the density and pressure are greater than normal?
compression
3. Which of the following is the region of a sound wave in which the density and pressure are greater than normal? a. compression.
What is the region of high density and high pressure in a wave known as?
compressions
These regions are known as compressions and rarefactions respectively. The compressions are regions of high air pressure while the rarefactions are regions of low air pressure.
What is a region of low pressure in a sound wave?
Demonstrating longitudinal waves Longitudinal waves show areas of compression and rarefaction : compressions are regions of high pressure due to particles being close together. rarefactions are regions of low pressure due to particles being spread further apart.
Which of the following is the region of a longitudinal wave in which the density is less than normal?
A region where the coils are spread apart, thus maximizing the distance between coils, is known as a rarefaction. A rarefaction is a point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is traveling that has the minimum density.
What is the intensity of a sound wave in relation to the intensity at the threshold of hearing?
The loudness of a sound relates the intensity of any given sound to the intensity at the threshold of hearing. It is measured in decibels (dB).
What is the region of higher density in a sound wave?
Solution: The region in a sound wave, with higher pressure and density is called compression and that with low pressure and density is called rarefaction.
Which of the following is the region of a sound wave in which the density?
Rarefaction
Rarefaction is a region in a sound wave in which the density of the sound medium is less than normal. Resonance frequency is the frequency at which an object would vibrate naturally if disturbed. Sound medium is a substance in which sound waves travel. Air, for example, is a sound medium.
What are the low and high pressure mean on the sound wave?
These regions are known as compressions and rarefactions respectively. The compressions are regions of high air pressure while the rarefactions are regions of low air pressure. A sound wave consists of a repeating pattern of high pressure and low pressure regions moving through a medium.
What are regions in a sound wave where particles?
Compression- a region in a longitudinal (sound) wave where the particles are closest together. Rarefaction- a region in a longitudinal (sound) wave where the particles are furthest apart.
