Question

describing sound wave features match each sound feature to its description. rarefaction amplitude compression wavelength the density of the medium’s particles at the compressions of the wave the distance between compressions or rarefactions the part of a wave where the particles of the medium are closer together the part of a wave where the particles of the medium are farther apart

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Sound Wave Terms

• Rarefaction: Part of wave with particles farther apart.
• Amplitude: Density of medium's particles at compressions (related to energy/loudness).
• Compression: Part of wave with particles closer together.
• Wavelength: Distance between compressions/rarefactions.

Step2: Match Each Term

• rarefaction → the part of a wave where the particles of the medium are farther apart.
• amplitude → the density of the medium’s particles at the compressions of the wave.
• compression → the part of a wave where the particles of the medium are closer together.
• wavelength → the distance between compressions or rarefactions.

Answer:

rarefaction - the part of a wave where the particles of the medium are farther apart
amplitude - the density of the medium’s particles at the compressions of the wave
compression - the part of a wave where the particles of the medium are closer together
wavelength - the distance between compressions or rarefactions
