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> ]]
