4. For the longitudinal wave shown below, identify which part represents a compression and which part represents a rarefaction.

Compression is where particles are closest together, rarefaction is where particles are farthest apart.

Compression is where particles are farthest apart, rarefaction is where particles are closest together.

Compression and rarefaction are the same in a longitudinal wave.

Compression and rarefaction do not exist in longitudinal waves.

Displacement, amplitude, and wavelength in a wave travelling through air refer to which of the following?

Displacement is the distance a particle moves from its rest position, amplitude is the maximum displacement, and wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

Displacement is the speed of the wave, amplitude is the frequency, and wavelength is the time taken for one oscillation.

Displacement is the energy of the wave, amplitude is the direction, and wavelength is the height of the wave.

Displacement is the pressure change, amplitude is the temperature, and wavelength is the color of the wave.
