Question 2

Describe with the help of a diagram, how compressions and rarefactions are produced in air near a source of sound.

Answer

Compressions and rarefactions are produced because the disturbance in the medium is caused by sound waves. When an object vibrates then it moves forward, it pushes and compresses the air in front of it creating a region of high pressure in its vicinity. This region of high pressure is known as compressions. When it moves backward, it creates a region of low pressure in its vicinity. This region is known as a rarefaction.
