Summary
Rarefaction Waves
are a
Type of disturbance
in a medium where the
Pressure decreases
and the
Density drops
, resulting in a
Stretching effect
. They often occur in
Gases and fluids
when a
Rapid decompression
happens, moving in the opposite direction of
Shock Waves
and helping to demonstrate
Principles of wave propagation
in fluids.
