Question

Why are only longitudinal waves possible in fluids?

⭐⭐⬅️ Answer ➡️➡️➡️➡️

Simple. Transverse-waves need a medium rigid enough to propagate, which liquids can't provide. ... The particles in transverse waves move perpendicularly to the direction of propagation so it cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.

• The shear strength is one of the forces that hold the solid together, and prevent it from falling apart.
• So in fact it just boils down to the fact that transverse-waves need a medium rigid enough to propagate, which liquids can't provide.
