No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
longitudinal wave
If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal.
Sound waves are an example of Longitudinal waves. They are waves in which the particle is displaced in a parallel direction to the direction of velocity of the wave. They are formed by a compression and expansion of particles.sound is an example for longitudinal wavesound waveLongitudinal waves, also known as "l-waves", are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of travel of the wave.
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
Longitudinal.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
Yes sound waves are longitudinal, rather than transverse, the oscillate parallel to the direction of travel
For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal.
