Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
Solución
- Sound waves are disturbances that propagate through a medium such as air.
- In sound waves, the oscillations (or vibrations) of the particles in the medium occur in the same direction as the wave travels.
- Such waves, where the disturbance is parallel to the direction of wave propagation, are called
waves.
Thus, the correct answer is: longitudinal.

Did you know that sound waves are actually energy that move through mediums, such as air, water, or solids? They cause particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels. This back-and-forth motion is what we refer to as longitudinal waves, which is why sound is often classified in this category.
If you’re interested in experimenting with sound waves, try creating your own musical instrument! For example, you could make a simple string instrument by stretching rubber bands over a box and plucking them. This will let you see (and hear) how vibrations create sound waves, and you can even change the pitch by adjusting the tension of the rubber bands!
