Audiology Exam 1

What is rarefaction?

• • Rarefaction is the process where particles in a medium are densely packed together, increasing pressure.

• When the vibrating object moves in the opposite direction.

• • Rarefaction occurs when sound waves travel through a vacuum, creating a high-density region of particles.

• • Rarefaction refers to the increase in temperature of a gas when its pressure is reduced.

What is compression?

• When the vibrating object moved outward, air molecules air molecules are pushed together

• • Compression occurs when particles in a medium spread apart, decreasing pressure and density

• Condensation is the process of a gas expanding into a vacuum without any change in temperature or pressure

• • Compression results in a lower density of particles, leading to an increase in volume of the medium
