Longitudinal Wave Graph



Is crest a compression or does the compression have 0 displacement?

That is not a longitudinal wave. Your image shows a transverse wave 8CAB2BF1-EAA2-4F7D-9914-3AEB60E0AE14.jpg.jpeg

But longitudinal waves can be represented like transverse waves on a graph

But some images also say that compressions and rarefactions have displacement 0. Do you know what is the standard model for A levels?
