We consider cigar-shaped Fermi superfluid in the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC)-BCS crossover. Using the polytropic form of equation of state, we derive low energy multibranch bosonic excitations and the corresponding density fluctuations in three different regimes along the crossover, namely weak-coupling BCS, unitarity, and molecular BEC regimes. Bragg spectroscopy can be used to probe the multibranch nature of the low-energy bosonic excitations by measuring the dynamic structure factor. Therefore we calculate the dynamic structure factor in those three different regimes. In Bragg spectroscopy, an actual observable is momentum imparted to the superfluid due to the Bragg potential. We also present results of the momentum imparted to the superfluid due to the Bragg pulses.
