Only sound energy travels in wavesTrue or false?

False. While sound energy does travel in waves, other forms of energy, such as light and water waves, also travel in wave patterns.


What travels by waves?

Sound and light are examples of what travel by waves. Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through while light waves can travel through a vacuum. Both types of waves exhibit properties like frequency and amplitude.


What waves sound waves travel in?

Sound (and vibration) waves may only travel in some medium. Such as air, metal and so on. They cannot travel in a vacuum.


What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?

Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.


Does sound travel in waves?

Sound (and vibration) waves may only travel in some medium. Such as air, metal and so on. They cannot travel in a vacuum.


Why does sound energy only travel in earth?

Sound energy can travel through air, water, and solids like earth because these substances can transmit the vibrations created by sound waves. Sound waves move by compressing and rarefying the medium they are traveling through, which allows the energy to be carried from one point to another, including through the solid medium of the Earth.


Waves that can travel only through matter?

Sound, water waves, shock waves, etc


Which type of waves can only tansfer energy through a medium?

Mechanical waves can only transfer energy through a medium. These waves require a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through, as they rely on the particles of the medium to propagate. Examples include sound waves and water waves.


Why can sound only travel a certain distance on the earth?

Sound can only travel a certain distance on Earth due to factors like air temperature, pressure, and humidity, which affect the speed and intensity of sound waves. Additionally, obstacles such as buildings, mountains, and bodies of water can absorb or reflect sound waves, limiting how far they can travel.


A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?

That would be sound.


What to waves travel through?

Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.


Which type of wave can only transfer energy though a medium?

Mechanical waves can only transfer energy through a medium because they rely on the vibration and movement of particles in the medium to propagate. Sound waves are an example of mechanical waves that require a medium such as air, water, or solids to travel.
