Question

Sound is also a transverse wave.In which state the sound travels in transverse wave ? Explain.

Answer 1

Longitudinal and transverse waves. Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. It requires a medium to propagate. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

. Depends on the intermolecular forces between molecules of the medium. In air, these forces are low, so one particle has to to collide with another to actually get the disturbance to get transferred. In mediums like solids, which are more rigid, sound waves can transfer as transverse waves, but remember, there should be a way, to shake your ear drum, if you're to listen anything
