Concept explainers
The part of a longitudinal wave that has lowest density.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The waves in which the particles moves parallel to the direction of propagation of wave is called longitudinal wave.
Longitudinal waves have two-part rarefaction and compression. The compression is the area where the particles’ density is high and the region where the density is lowest is called rarefaction.
Conclusion:
Thus, the part of a longitudinal wave that has lowest density is rarefaction.
