Question

where is the wavelength found in a longitudinal wave? select all correct options from compression to compression. from rarefaction to rarefaction. from compression to rarefaction.

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive compressions or two consecutive rarefactions. So the correct options are "From compression to compression" (distance between two compressions) and "From rarefaction to rarefaction" (distance between two rarefactions). The option "From compression to rarefaction" is incorrect as it does not represent a full wavelength (a wavelength requires repeating the pattern, so between like - type regions: compression - compression or rarefaction - rarefaction).

Answer:

A. From compression to compression
B. From rarefaction to rarefaction
