Vedclass · Answer

(B) In a longitudinal wave,a condensation (or compression) is a region of high pressure and density,while a rarefaction is a region of low pressure and density.One full wavelength $(\lambda)$ is defined as the distance between two consecutive condensations or two consecutive rarefactions.The distance between a condensation and the next consecutive rarefaction is exactly half of the wavelength.Therefore,the distance is $\frac{\lambda}{2}$.

What is the distance between consecutive condensation and rarefaction in longitudinal waves?
