Plane Polarized Sound Wave
</dt>
At a point in an elastic medium, a transverse
wave in which the displacements at all times lie in a fixed plane which is
parallel to the direction of propagation. Also called linearly polarized
sound wave.
</dd>
The above definition is equivalent to stating that, in a plane
polarized sound wave, the displacement vector at any point lies in a fixed
straight line passing through the point. [[/a>|/a>]][[/a>|/a>
