This is the absolute basis of the existence of sound in gases and liquids.
Professional Definition
> Longitudinal sound wave – a wave in which the direction of vibration is in accordance with the direction of wave propagation.
Propagation involves local compressions and rarefactions of the medium.
## Acoustics in Simple Words
The analogy of a "Slinky" spring – pushing causes the compression of coils to move along the spring.
## Summary
The predominant type of sound wave in our environment (air).
