The opposite of a compression wave is a rarefaction wave. In a compression wave, particles are close together, whereas in a rarefaction wave, particles are spread out.
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
The spread out portion of a compression wave is called a rarefaction. In a compression wave, the particles are compressed together in the compression phase and spread out in the rarefaction phase.
Sound waves are mechanical, longitudinal waves that require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. They propagate by the oscillation and compression of particles in the medium, carrying energy and information through vibrations.
A water wave is an example of a transverse wave motion. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This is observed in water waves where the water particles move up and down as the wave travels horizontally.

A compression wave.

The distance from one compression to the next compression in a longitudinal wave is called the wavelength. This distance is often used to measure the size of the wave and determine its frequency.
No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
The wavelength of a wave is reduced in shallow water because the wave begins to interact with the sea floor, causing the wave to slow down and compress. This compression shortens the distance between wave crests, resulting in a shorter wavelength in shallow water.
A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.
No, the distance between one compression and the next compression in a longitudinal wave is its wavelength, not its amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position as the wave passes through it.
