Answer:

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess the correct word should be compression instead of comprehension.

In sound waves, the distance between compressions is called the wavelength.

A sound wave is a typical example of a longitudinal wave that usually consists of a region where the wave particles are closest together - also known as the compression region - and a region where the wave particles are furthest apart, the rarefaction region. The distance between one compression or rarefaction and the next is the wavelength of the wave.
