Polarisation is specially related to limiting the vibrations in only one direction or a plane. This is possible in case of transverse waves. But in case of longitudinal only one direction of propagation ie to and fro is possible. So no chance of having the phenomenon of polarisation with longitudinal waves.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of waves can be plane polarized?
Transverse waves, such as electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves, can be plane polarized. This means that the electric field oscillates in a single plane as the wave propagates. Longitudinal waves, like sound waves, cannot be plane polarized because their oscillations are in the same direction as the wave's propagation.
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 is another name for a longitudinal a longitudinal wave?
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
Is sound a longitudinal wave?
Yes, sound is a longitudinal wave.
What is the electromagnetic waves cannot be polarized?
The very question is wrong. Sound waves being longitudinal cannot be polarized. Electromagnetic wave being transverse can be polarized
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.

What are the properties and characteristics of sound?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is the the particles of the wave vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. They cannot be polarized. Speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s.

Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
What type of wave does sound travel in?
Longitudinal Wave
Can sound waves be polarized like electromagnetic waves can?
For polarization the direction of the oscillation has to be perpendicular to the direction of travel. In sound waves, which are longitudinal waves, this isn't the case and thereby can not be polarized.
Is longitudinal a sound wave?
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
Is sound a longitudinal wave?
Yes, sound is a longitudinal wave.
