Which kind of wave requires a medium for propagation?
A Sound wave, water wave, earth quake wave. Electromagnetic waves (radio, light, etc.) do not require a medium for propagation.
Which meduim is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?
The velocity of sound is the highest when travelling through a solid. Sound travels fastes in a solid, then in a liquid, and slowest through a gas.
What is a compression wave of gas liquid or solid that is detected by your ear?
A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.
Do sound wave through solid is longitudinal?
Yes, sound waves through solids are longitudinal waves, where the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
What type of s mechanical wave is a sound wave?
A sound wave is a longitudinal mechanical wave, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This distinguishes it from a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the wave propagation.

How can you make ceramics from mussels?
No, it's Not. Silence is not a Sound. Silence is defined by the absence of sound. Sound is a vibration that typically propagates as an audible wave of pressure, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. There is no sound at all in outer space, since there is no medium that can sustain its propagation

Do sound molecules move perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation?
Sound molecules traveling through air is an example of a longitudinal wave. It moves parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
What oscillates in a sound wave?
In a sound wave, the air particles oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation.
What is a transversal wave?
A transverse wave is a wave that the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are a ripple in a pond and a wave on a string. Transverse waves may occur on a wave, throughout a solid and on the surface of a wave. Transverse waves cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
What is the motion of light or sound wave called?
Propagation.
How does the propagation of sound as a longitudinal wave differ from other types of wave propagation?
Sound propagation as a longitudinal wave differs from other types of wave propagation in that it involves the compression and rarefaction of particles in the medium through which it travels, rather than the oscillation of particles perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. This unique movement of particles allows sound waves to travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
