Rarefactions (R) are the regions where the coils of a slinky are further apart.
Rarefactions, in the context of longitudinal waves, refer to regions where the density and pressure of the medium are lower than their average values. In these regions, particles are spaced farther apart, creating areas of reduced compression within the wave.
