introduction:
The sensation felt by our ears is called sound
There are two types of waves: Longitudinal waves and Transverse waves.
Longitudinal Waves:
A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the ‘same direction’ in which the wave is moving.
Medium can be solid, liquid or gases.
Therefore, sound waves are longitudinal waves.
Transverse Waves:
A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate up and down ‘at right angles’ to the direction in which the wave is moving.
These waves are produced only in a solids and liquids but not in gases.
Sound is a longitudinal wave which consists of compressions and rarefactions travelling through a medium.
extra info:
Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period, Frequency and Velocity or Speed.

In fact, there are two main types ofwaves: transverse and longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are where the vibration moves parallel to the direction the wave is traveling. ... Lightwaves and water ripples are transverse, but sound waves are longitudinal.
