Rarefaction, in the physics of sound, segment of one cycle of a longitudinal wave during its travel or motion, the other segment being compression.

A common rarefaction wave is the area of low relative pressure following a shock wave (see picture). An example of rarefaction is also as a phase in a sound ...

Rarefaction is defined as the component of a wave in which a medium's particles are further apart. This area experiences low pressure.

A rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart. As seen in Figure 9.2, there are regions where the medium is compressed ...

a state or region of minimum pressure in a substance (as air) being traveled through by a wave formed by compression (as sound). Medical Definition. rarefaction.

rarefactions are regions of low pressure due to particles being spread further apart.

In a longitudinal wave, places where particles of the medium crowd closer together are called compressions, and places where particles of the medium spread ...

10 янв. 2017 г. · Rarefaction is the opposite of compression. The material in question is expanded and therefore its density is lower. Sound waves are created ...
