Ans 1--Sound in air can only be a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave hence it cannot be polarized
2-pure
sine wave has a unique frequency ,as a n example if we take any wave
shape and filter out all frequencies, except the lower frequency , the
result will be a pure sine wave at that frequency. now if we clap our hands together.the vibration transfers energy to nearby air particle which produces sound wave in air
3-
wave front in sound wave is normal to direction of propagation because
the medium is isotropic which means the particles are spread
homogeneously an hence the energy imparted by sound waves is equally distributed and hence wave front is normal to direction of propagation.
4- No the particle of medium moves with particle velocity and sound wave itself moves with sound speed which is 343m/s
5- sound wave is a pressure wave means a mechanical wave which results from back and forth vibrations of the particle of the medium through which sound travels hence we describe it in terms of pressure wave.
