PS4.A: Wave Properties
Longitudinal waves: A wave vibrating in the direction of its source.
Compression: When the waves are closer together.
Rarefaction: When the waves are farther apart.
Wavelength: Distance measured from one compression to the next compression in a longitudinal wave.
Amplitude: The distance from the equilibrium (middle) to the highest point of the wave.
