Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Are sound waves longlitudanal?
They can be either longitudinal or transverse. In gases, such as air, and in liquids, only longitudinal waves are possible. In solids, there can be both longitudinal and transverse waves.
