- Refraction occurs when a wave crosses a boundary from one medium to another. A wave entering a medium at an angle will change direction.
- Diffraction refers to the "bending of waves around an edge" of an object. Diffraction depends on the size of the object relative to the wavelength of the wave.

What is a section of a longitudinal wave where the particles are less crowded than normal called?
its not a refraction its rarefaction
What is difference between crest and rarefaction?
Transverse waves have crests & troughs ,Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions . rarefaction is a pulling force it is a point when least force is applied
What is difference between reflection and refraction of sound wave?
reflection - it bounces off a substance refraction - the course of movement is bent
Which part of a wave is the rarefaction?
Perhaps you are confusing with "refraction"? Refraction means that when a wave goes from one substance to another (for example, from air to water), it changes its direction. This is related with the index of refraction in the different substances, i.e., the wave has a different speed in the different substances.
What is the difference between compression and rarefaction?
compression waves the moving particles move backwards and forward in the same direction as the energy transfer.
What is the difference between a compression and a refraction?
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure
Molecules are farther apart in a rarefaction reflection compression or refraction?
Rarefaction.
What is the difference between refraction and reflection?
the difference between refraction and reflection is that in refraction light bends and in reflection it is reflected

What is the difference between light and light refraction?
In reflection the light bounces bach; in refraction the light passes through, but is bent at the interface.
What is the difference between refraction and transmission?
the difference is transmission occur in same medium,but refraction occurs whn 2 medias are there,its actually bending of light at interface of 2 medias

What is the difference between reflection and refraction?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.
