Rarefaction — is the reduction of a medium s density, or the opposite of compression. A natural example of this is as a phase in a sound wave or phonon. Half of a sound wave is made up of the compression of the medium, and the other half is the decompression… … Wikipedia
Compression (physical) — Compression test on a universal testing machine Physical compression is the result of the subjection of a material to compressive stress, which results in reduction of volume as compared to an uncompressed but otherwise identical state. The… … Wikipedia
