Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium like air or water When we think about sound, we often think about how loud it is (amplitude, or

A sound wave is not a transverse wave with crests and troughs, but rather a longitudinal wave with compressions and rarefactions These regions of high pressure
