When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
Longitudinal
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.

No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
