Can sound travel through other kinds of material than air if so does it travel differently?

Sound can travel through all matter. The speed at which it travels depends on the density of the material.

What kinds of energy travel through matter?
Heat and light energy travel through space and matter
Does air travel through solids liquids and gases?
Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.
What material that blocks some kinds of light and lets objects through?
translucent
What kinds of substances can sound waves travel through?
Everything. We're all a vibration.
How is light differrent from other kinds of waves?
It doesn't need a medium to travel through.
What kinds of materials can not pass through?
Material with low conductance such as rubber, plastics and so forth.
Why is soundwave can travel to all kinds of matterbut not to a vacuum?
a sound wave is the movement of the molecules of the material, so no molecules no sound wave.
How waves are formed and describe how they travel?
Waves are described by:their length (wavelength)their height or depth (amplitude)the number of waves you can count in a given amount of time (frequency)A wave is simply a way by which energy can be moved through a material without actually moving the material itself. they travel through light, air, water, and sound.There are three basic kinds of waves:compression wavestransverse wavessurface wavesbibliography- my school textbook that's online
Can sound waves move through any kinds of matter?
Yes. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
Does waves need a medium to travel through?
No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)
Is it true that different kinds of E-M waves travel through space at different speeds?
No. All E-M waves travel through space at the same speed, known as the"Speed of Light".
Did waves carries energy?
most kinds of waves need something to travel through. Water waves, for example, travel along the surface of the water. A wave can even travel along a rope. Gases (such as air), liquids (such as water), and solids (such as rope) , all act as mediums. Waves that require a medium through which travel are called mechanical waves.Some waves do not require a medium to travel through. Light can travel and carry energy through empty space. Waves that can travel without a medium are called electromagnetic waves. :)
