However instead of crests and troughs, longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions. Compression. A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together. Rarefaction. A rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart.

Masja [62]

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the pressure of a gas in a container will increase if the number of collisions with the container wall increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Keeping the volume of the vessel constant, if we increase the amount of gas in it; the pressure will increase. This is because when the number of gas particles increases in that limited volume, they hit the walls of the container with more energy and hence, the overall pressure of the gas increases.

If we decrease the amount of gas in the vessel or increase the volume for the same amount of gas, the pressure decreases. As the pressure inside the vessel depends upon the gas supplied in the container.
