A combination of a transverse and a longitudinal wave.
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.

A sound wave's structure, by definition, is a longitudinal one. More specifically, it is "a longitudinal wave in an elastic medium."
Sound waves are longitudinal.
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
Longitudinal Wave
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave

Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
It is not so much longitudinal vs. transverse - it is the type of wave. Mechanical waves, by definition, travel through matter. That includes sound waves. Mechanical waves, however, can be both longitudinal and transverse - and both require a medium.
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.
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
