"A compressible medium." "A displaceable medium."
sound waves
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
They travel fastest through air.
Both electromagnetic waves and gravity waves can travel through empty space. Gravity waves travel through matter as well; some electromagnetic waves may travel through some types of matter.
Sound travels through matter as transverse pressure waves.
primary wave
Sound waves can travel through any matter- liquid, gas or solids. The denser the matter, the faster the sound travels. It cannot travel through vacuum- a vacuum is an absence of matter.
Sound travels through waves.

"ENERGY" travels through WAVES. *Waves is created through disturbance of Matter (the Medium). *Waves carry energy from Particle to Particle of Matter. <credits> *Journel Cabrillos*
Matter through which a wave travels is named as material medium. Example air is a material medium needed for sound waves to pass through
