Sound waves are compression waves.


What if the compression only registered as an increase in energy?
Then, what would this wave be?

Since it's a compression wave, it would still be a compression wave.

But what if you didn't know it was a compression wave in the first place?


Then you wouldn't know it was a compression wave unless you decided to
find out if it was a compression wave.

But in which circumstances could this wave be viewed as a transverse wave?
