Answer:
Sound waves are longitudinal so theycannot be polarised. ... The reason that only transverse waves can be polarised is that their vibrations canpotentially occur in all directions perpendicular to the direction of travel. It is therefore possible to confine the vibrations to a single plane.

Explanation:
Sound waves, are longitudinal, meaning that they oscillate parallel to the direction of their motion. Since there is no component of a sound wave's oscillation that is perpendicular to its motion, sound waves cannot be polarized.
