Longitudinal waves have rarefactions which is when the particles are spread out.
Compressions are when the particles have been squashed together
When sound travels, it travels in a longitudinal wave

the amplitude and wavelength on a transverse wave is perpendicular (meet at a right angle) all the time.
when light travels, it travels in a transverse wave
the crest is the highest point of a wave.
the tough is the lowest point of a wave.
