    Why are the regions of compressions and rarefactions of sound waves formed?

    A) A sound wave undergoes diffraction behind obstacles.

    B) The reflected sound wave at a fixed end interferes with the incident wave.

    C) The longitudinal movement of air molecules produces pressure fluctuations.  

    D) The speed of the sound wave changes as it travels through a medium.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Pressure fluctuations occur as high pressure is created during compression and low pressure during rarefaction of air molecules in a sound wave.
