Longitudinal waves cannot

(A): Solids can support both longitudinal and transverse waves but only mechanical longitudinal waves can propagate in gases. (R): For the propagation of mechanical transverse waves, medium must also necessarily have the property of rigidity.

Explain why (or how) : (a) In a sound wave, a displacement node is a pressure antinode and vice-versa, (b) Bats can ascertain distances, directions, nature and size of obstacles without any eyes, (c) a violin note and sitar note may have the same frequency, yet we can distinguish between the two notes, (d) Solids can support both longitudinal and transverse waves, but only longitudinal waves can propagate in gases, (e) The shape of pulse gets distorted during propagation in a dispersive medium.
