What kind of waves travel through air and can be demonstrated by a slinky?
You seem to be referring to sound waves. When you see the coils of a slinky become alternately close together and then farther apart you are seeing what happens to the molecules in air when a sound wave passes and compresses them then decompresses them.
Why does the sound not travel through vacuum?
The sound not travel through vacuum because sound need a medium to travel.
Why can't sound travel through metal?
sound can travel through metal.
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
light can travel through a vacuum whereas sound cant
Sound waves do not travel through what?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.

How sound traveled?
Sound is a pressure wave. It is produced by vibrations which travel through the air (or other subtance) by molecules vibrating and pushing against each other.Imagine taking a slinky and stretching it out with both your hands. If you suddenly push one side of the slinky towards your other hand, you can see the wave of energy move from one hand to the other. Sound travels by the same principle!Through Particles in the air.
Why does the sound not travel through vacuum?
The sound not travel through vacuum because sound need a medium to travel.
Why can't sound travel through metal?
sound can travel through metal.
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
light can travel through a vacuum whereas sound cant
Sound waves do not travel through what?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
Can sound travel through different materials?
Sound can travel through a variety of materiels.
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
Can sound travel easily through a vacuum?
sound cannot travel through a vacum
Can both light and sound travel through glass?
Both light and sound can indeed travel through glass. These are substances in which light and sound often travel through.
What can't sound travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. They do not travel through vacuum.
