Yes it can - however the effect is extremely short-lived as air has a volumetric expansion and any one 'vector of freedom' quickly converts itself into two more 'vectors of freedom'

How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
Do speed of sound increases with increasing temperature in the ear?
Sound does travel slightly faster as air temperature increases and this applies when the sound enters the ear just as it does in any other air. Once the sound has passed the ear drum, air is no longer the medium in which the sound travels so air temperature no longer affects the speed of sound.
Will cold air particles transmit sound at a higher speed than hot air particles?
colder air is more dense than warmer air. As a result it is harder for the sound to travel through the cold air and the speed of sound is slower in cold air compared to warm air.
Why are sound waves not polarized?
Sound waves (in gas, liquid and sometimes in solid) are longitudinal, not transversal. They cannot be polarised. Sound waves (sometimes in solid) are always "polarised" as the medium must move in a single plane perpendicular to the direction of travel.
What waves can be polarised heat waves or sound wavesgive reason?
Any transverse waves can be polarised because the vibrations are confined to one plane. Therefore sound can be polarised. Because there is a position when the sounds plane of polarisation is at right angles to the polariser and no waves can pass through. Hope this helped may seem complicated now but believe me it will get easier :)
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
How can electromagnetic waves become polarised?
Through an atmosphere of Ozone, electromagnetic waves can become polarised.
Do sound waves vibrate the air?
No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.
What are the different types of Ray Ban Lenses?
In China Polarised Ray ban is made of Plastic Lens. If not polarised,than be glass lens. Any way you may feel light when wearing polarised plastic lens and feel a little heavy in glass lens. But polarised is easy to be scratched. So should be careful when wearing . Hope this can help you !!
Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
What is a polarised chloride ion?
it is not spherical or distorted.
Why is there no sound in the vacuum of space?
Because sound travells by air and if there is no air then sound cannot travel to your ears. A vacum is where there is no air e.g. space.
Why is there no sound in a vaccuum?
sound is created because of vibrations in air. i.e The change of vibrations in air creates sound. In vacuum there is no air. So it is not possible to create sound in vaccum.
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
