Abstract

Polarization is traditionally considered a phenomenon exclusive to transverse waves. However, through various experiments, we discovered that under specific conditions, longitudinal sound waves can exhibit polarization like behaviour. The Tyndall effect, usually caused by the scattering of light waves, was observed in sound waves scattered by particular obstacles, displaying a similar effect. This observed phenomenon introduces new possibilities in acoustics and its applications for controlling wave propagation.
