Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air
Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.
Can sound wave pass through in vacuum?
No - sound wave cannot pass through "vacuum". It was Robert Boyle, English scientist who proved in 1960 that sound waves need to pass through a medium to transmit sound. This can be tested as follows: Place a bell inside a chamber and slowly start evacuating air from the chamber. It can be seen that sound of the bell is slowly becoming softer, until there is absolutely no sound.

What state of matter does sound energy pass through?
Sound can pass through any state of matter.
Why should the string be tight in the string telephone?
If the string is not taught (strung with tension that holds it up and with little sway) then the sound wave would have too much resistance as it tried to pass through the string which would prevent it from reaching the other end.
How does sound travel through a string instrument?
