Longitudinal waves. The other category of waves, transverse waves, can't travel in a gas. This is valid in the case of mechanical waves; because electromagnetic waves are also transverse waves, and they can travel even in a vacuum.
which kind of sound is produced by sound waves with peaks that are very close together?
Sound waves are detected by the ear. Sound waves are longitudinal waves that require a medium, such as air, to travel through. These waves cause vibrations in the eardrum, which are then converted into electrical signals that are interpreted by the brain as sound.
Sound vibrations are made of mechanical waves known as longitudinal waves. In these waves, the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This vibration causes a transfer of energy that our ears perceive as sound.
Sound waves can be both constructive and destructive. Constructive interference occurs when sound waves combine to increase amplitude, resulting in a louder sound. Destructive interference occurs when sound waves combine to cancel each other out, resulting in a softer sound.
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.

Sound is a compressional wave.

sound waves?
Sound Waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
compressional waves they swerve up and down
You use sound waves to communicate.
