Question
which features do sound waves have that ocean and light waves do not? check all that apply. compressions rarefactions amplitude wavelength crests frequency speed
Sound waves are longitudinal waves. They have compressions and rarefactions where particles are pushed together and spread apart respectively. Ocean waves are surface - waves and light waves are electromagnetic (transverse) waves. They do not have compressions and rarefactions. Amplitude, wavelength, crests, frequency, and speed are characteristics of all types of waves.
