Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sound waves propagate in three dimensions, as they travel in all directions from their source. This is because sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to travel through, and they cause the particles in the medium to vibrate in all directions perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Therefore, sound waves cannot be described as existing in only one or two dimensions. The concept of four-dimensional waves is not relevant to the propagation of sound waves.
