Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Compression

The region in a medium where the distance between the vibrating molecules is minimum is compression.

This is the region with higher air pressure than the surrounding .

Rarefaction

The region in a medium where the distance between the vibrating molecules is maximum is rarefaction.

This is the region with relatively low air pressure.

hope it helps :)
