no, it's a mechanism for transmitting sound.
and sound isn't limited to gas either. It can pass through solids (you can listen through a wall or a door) and through liquids (you can still hear when your ears are submerged in a bath or a pool)

Are sound waves transvers or longitudnal?
A sound is a vibration that propagates in a substance. In solids, it can be either transversal or longitudinal. In a gas and a liquid, only longitudinal waves are possible.
What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
How do sound waves move?
Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas. To see sound waves as longitudinal waves in air moving, scroll down to related links and look at "Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia".
Velocity of the sound is maximum in which gas?
That is a difficult question. I would say that the denser the gas, the faster the speed of sound. Since the gas occupies a lot more space, sound energy/waves are transmitted more easily. :D
Is collecting sound the same as captureing sound waves?
Sound waves are what make up sound (sound waves=sound) so I would suppose so.
Do sound waves travels faster in air or in gas?
Air is gas.
Do sound waves travel faster in gas?
Yes they do
What type of waves are sound waves longitudinal or converse waves?
yes and no gas has no definite volume or mass
How do sound waves travel through gas?
Compression waves (same as for solids & liquids).
What does the propagation of sound waves in a gas involve?
Compression waves, like a shock front.
A sound wave is a transverse wave?
No. At least in a gas and liquid, mechanical waves, including sound, can only propagate as longitudinal waves.
Are sound waves transvers or longitudnal?
A sound is a vibration that propagates in a substance. In solids, it can be either transversal or longitudinal. In a gas and a liquid, only longitudinal waves are possible.
How does sound travel in solid liqiud and gas?
As pressure waves.
Is sound a gas?
Sound is a kind of energy. It is the vibrational energy being propagated in the form of longitudinal waves. So sound is not a gas but it needs a gas or other medium to propagate in.
How do sound waves travel trough matter?
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. They do not travel through vacuum.
What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
