Sound Waves and Their Characteristics

Particles remain stationary and do not interact

Particles are forced together and density increases (correct)

Particles oscillate without changing position

Particles are widely spaced apart

It signifies a moment of no movement in the particles.

It occurs only during the wave's amplitude peak.

It is a phase where particles are expanded and spread apart. (correct)

It involves a concentration of particles in a small area.
