    A) The distance between the two successive compressions (or rarefactions) is actually called the wavelength of the longitudinal waves.

    B) Wavelengths of longitudinal and transverse waves are comparable in the fact that in a transverse wave, the particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels whereas in a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced along the direction to the direction the wave travels
