Yes, compressional waves are what sound is made of. Since there is no sound in a vacuum, it can be assumed that compressional waves only travel through matter.
You can also think of it like this: they're called compression waves because something is compressing. If there was no matter, there'd be nothing for them to compress.
What else can I help you with?
Waves transfer _?
energy
Do all EM waves transfer matter from place to place?
False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.
What do waves transfer?
Waves transfer energy, not matter. This energy can be in the form of sound, light, or motion. Waves help transmit information through space.
The matter through which waves transfers energy?
The matter through which waves transfer energy is called the medium. Waves can travel through different mediums such as air, water, and solids, and they transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate.
Do all waves carry energy but not matter?
Yes, all waves carry energy but not matter. Waves transfer energy from one place to another but do not involve the physical displacement of matter.
What kind of waves transfer energy but not matter?
radiation
Can waves carry energy and matter?
Waves can carry energy but not matter. In the case of mechanical waves, such as water waves or sound waves, the energy is transferred through the movement of the medium's particles. In contrast, electromagnetic waves, like light waves, can travel through a vacuum and transfer energy without the need for a medium.
Can a mechanical wave transfer?
No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy
What do electromagnetic waves not transfer?
There are lots of things they don't transfer.
What is a wave that uses matter to transfer energy?
Mechanical waves
What is the transfer of energy from light waves to matter?
light gas
How electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter?
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter by heating up matter and changing configuration of matter including fission, breaking matter up.
