What is called compression or condensation? Which type of changes in density and pressure take place in it?
(N/A) Compression or condensation is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together,resulting in a local increase in density and pressure.
In a compression,the density of the medium is higher than the average density,and the pressure is higher than the equilibrium pressure of the medium.
These regions propagate through the medium as the wave travels.
