Question

Condensation and rarefaction in a longitudinal wave correspond, respectively, to what parts of a transverse wave? Group of answer choices :

wavelength and amplitude
period and frequency

Answer 1

Wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

Compression and rarefaction in a longitudinal wave correspond respectively, to the wavelength of a transverse wave.

Compression is the part of a wave where the density of particles are very close to each other while the rarefaction is the part of a wave where the particles are far apart from each other.These are the parts of longitudinal waves.

So, the correct option is (a) "wavelength".
