Question

What will happens if the sound waves are transverse?

Answer 1

Sound Waves in Air. A single-frequency sound wave traveling through air will cause a sinusoidal pressure variation in the air. The air motion which accompanies the passage of the sound wave will be back and forth in the direction of the propagation of the sound, a characteristic of longitudinal waves.
