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'

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.


Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?

No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.


Can longitudinal wave be polarised?

No, the longitudinal wave can't be polarised. Because polarisation means lack of symmetry. But longitudinal waves are symmetrical from all the sides of vision. This is because their plane of propagation and vibration is same. this wave loks same from all the sides.


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 !!


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.


Does air have sound?

Air itself does not produce sound, but sound travels through the air as a medium. When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves that travel through the air until they reach our ears, allowing us to hear the sound.


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.


Do air molecules make sound?

No, air molecules themselves do not make sound. Sound is produced when an object vibrates and causes air molecules to vibrate around it, creating sound waves that travel through the air.


Does air absorb sound?

Yes, air can absorb sound to some extent. Sound waves travel through air by compressing and decompressing the air molecules. The absorption of sound in air increases with higher frequencies, longer distances, and the presence of obstacles in the sound path.


Can sound waves travel through air?

Yes, sound waves can travel through air. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. In air, sound waves travel by compressing and rarefying air molecules as they move through the medium.


What is the approximate velocity of the sound in air?

the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s
