Question

why are sound wave are called longitudinal waves?​

Answer 1

Answer:

These air molecules collide with the air molecules next to them and those molecules do the same. Thus, a sort of chain reaction spreads through the air which is what our ears interpret as sound. This is a longitudinal wave because the medium through which it propagates (the air) moves parallel to the wave's velocity.
