How can you show that sound waves are longitudinal waves ?

A light wave can travel

Name one phenomenon that is shown by light waves, but not by sound waves.

We can polarise electromagnetic waves but not sound waves. Comment.

A sound wave travelling in air is made to propagate through a liquid such that the velocity of sound is quadrupled. If the frequency of the sound wave is constant, find the change in the wavelength of the sound wave

We hear a person behind a wall, but cannot see him, though both, light and sound are waves. Why ?

Assertion : Sound waves cannot propagate through vacuum but light waves can. Reason : Sound waves cannot be polarised but light waves can.
