In a compression or longitudinal wave, the compression is a point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is traveling that has the maximum density. Rarefaction is the point of least density.

A)compression

Explanation:

A longitudinal wave is defined as a wave in which the oscillations of the particles occur in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. An example of longitudinal wave is sound waves, in which particles of air (or any other medium) are displaced back and forth along the direction of propagation of the wave.

The oscillations of these particles produce regions which have lower density of air particles and regions which have higher density of air particles. The former are called rarefactions, while the latter are called compression.

The problem is asking us for the name of the regions where the density is maximum: therefore, the correct answer is compression.

speed

ratio of distance traveled to time interval

net force

vector sum of forces on object

object

source of diverging light rays either luminous or illuminated
