Why is sound wave called a longitudinal wave?

Answered by admin @ 25/08/2021

Sound waves are called longitudinal waves because the particles of the medium by which the sound is transported in air or in any fluid medium, it vibrates parallel to the direction in which the sound wave moves.

Therefore, the sound waves are often called longitudinal waves.
