Which phenomenon cannot be observed for sound waves?

Solution

  1. Polarization is a phenomenon that cannot be observed for sound waves because these waves are longitudinal waves and polarization needs transverse waves.
  2. No component of a sound wave is perpendicular to the direction of the motion of the wave therefore it can not be polarised.
