What is a wave that only can travel through matter?
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
sound
A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter?
It is an electromagnetic wave.
What medium does a sound wave travel through?
matter
A wave that can only travel through some type of matter?
sound wave .
What is a wave that only can travel through matter?

What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
sound
What can travel only through some type of matter.?
A sound wave
A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter?
It is an electromagnetic wave.
What does an electromagnetic wave do?
can travel through matter
What medium does a sound wave travel through?
matter
Is it possible for a electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum through matter?
If there's matter then its not a vacuum. But an EM wave can transverse either.
What kind of wave is able to travel through both matter and empty space?
A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
The matter through which a wave travels is called?
medium
What state of matter travels through waves?
It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.
