Which are the features of a longitudinal wave?

crest and compression
rarefaction and compression
compression and trough
crest and trough

1 answer

The features of a longitudinal wave are compression and rarefaction. These waves have compressions (where particles are closer together) and rarefactions (where particles are spread out) that travel in the direction of the wave. So, the correct option is "rarefaction and compression".
