Compressions are regions where both density and pressure are high, while rarefactions are regions of low pressure where particles are spread apart.

Compressions are regions where both density and pressure are high, while rarefactions are regions of low pressure where particles are spread apart.
Compressions in a sound wave are characterized by higher air density and pressure, where air particles are closely packed together. In contrast, rarefactions exhibit lower air density and pressure, with particles spread farther apart, resulting in regions of decreased pressure within the wave.
