Any transverse waves can be polarised because the vibrations are confined to one plane. Therefore sound can be polarised. Because there is a position when the sounds plane of polarisation is at right angles to the polariser and no waves can pass through.
Hope this helped may seem complicated now but believe me it will get easier :)
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can ultrasonic waves be polarised?
No, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that oscillate in a direction perpendicular to their direction of propagation. Polarization only applies to electromagnetic waves.
What is the properties and behavior of sound waves in the air?
Sound waves are condensations and expansions of the material the sound wave in traveling in which can be gas (including air), liquid, or solid. For this reason you cannot have sound waves in a vacuum including space. Sound waves eminate concentrically from the source of the sound. amplitude, wavelength, frequency, speed
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
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, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that oscillate in a direction perpendicular to their direction of propagation. Polarization only applies to electromagnetic waves.
Can sound in air be polarised?
No, sound in air cannot be polarized because sound waves are longitudinal waves in which the vibrations occur in the same direction as the wave propagation. Polarization is a property of transverse waves, where the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

For this reason you cannot have sound waves in a vacuum including space. Sound waves eminate concentrically from the source of the sound. amplitude, wavelength, frequency, speed
Why does a sound wave travel the slowest in a vacuum?
Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate because they rely on the vibration of molecules. In a vacuum, there are no molecules for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate, resulting in the absence of sound.
What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
