Is a longitudinal wave a sound wave?

Yes, a longitudinal wave can be a sound wave. Sound waves are a type of longitudinal wave that travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the particles in the medium in the direction of the wave's motion.


A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is?

A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is known as a sound wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves as they require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through.

An example of a purely longitudinal wave is a?

Sound wave is an example of a purely longitudinal wave. In a sound wave, the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving, creating compressions and rarefactions as the wave travels through the medium.


Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?

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.
