Question

Sound waves can be polarized.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

Origin of the question is Polarisation of Light in chapter Polarisation of Engineering Physics II

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

For explanation: Longitudinal waves cannot be polarized as their direction is the same as its vibration. Thus, it’s intensity will not change as it passes through a rotating analyzer.
