Relation between presion wave and displacement wave

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between pressure waves and displacement waves in an air column. Pressure waves, or longitudinal waves, require a medium like air to propagate, causing oscillations in pressure. Displacement waves refer to the movement of particles in the medium, which occurs in the same direction as the wave. In an air column, pressure variations lead to corresponding displacements of air particles, illustrating their interdependence. Understanding this relationship is crucial for comprehending sound wave behavior in various environments.

hellow, i need you to help me with this, i need the relation between presion wave and displacement wave into an air column, i know that when you talk about presion wave, its because the wave needs a physics medium to move, but i don't know how is this in an air column, thank you.-

Do you mean pressure waves, otherwise known as longitudinal, or sound waves?
 

Thread 'Is this a coincidence?... (distances between planets)'

I'm not a student or graduate in Astrophysics.. Wish i were though... I was playing with distances between planets... I found that Mars, Ceres, Jupiter and Saturn have somthing in common... They are in a kind of ratio with another.. They all got a difference about 1,84 to 1,88x the distance from the previous planet, sub-planet. On average 1,845x. I thought this can be coincidential. So i took the big moons of Jupiter and Saturn to do the same thing jupiter; Io, Europa and Ganymede have a...
