Question

Do Sound waves travel through solids as Transverse waves ?

Answer 1

1. Transverse waves cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
2. A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium.
3. Sound waves require a medium to propagate. Sound travel through solid, liquid, and gas.
4. Through solids, the sound waves can be transmitted as both transverse and longitudinal waves.

Therefore, the Sound waves travel through the solid as transverse waves.
