Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of propagation of the wave

• Longitudinal waves travels from one point to other point by distrubing the medium. If there is no medium then there is no distribence, hence propagation of wave is not possible.
