false because it can also travel out of waves
not
False, mechanical waves need a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, don't.
Both beams travel at the same speed.
No, mechanical or pressure waves can not travel through empty space
Sound cannot travel through a vacumNo. Sound waves can not travel in a vacuum. Sound works by having molecules of air knock against other molecules of air. Then those molecules knock against other molecules. The energy is transferred from one molecule to the next. These molecules we hear transferring energy from one to another we hear as sound. Where molecules can not transfer energy to another molecule, such as in a vacuum, sound can not exist.
Yes. Vibrations can travel through anything except space where there is a vacuum.
false
True, sound waves can travel in all three mediums , solids liquids and gases We hear sounds in gas medium. Sonar is an application for sound in liquid. Sound can make solids vibrate upon moving.

the sound travel fast....
No, Mechanical waves means that the waves require a medium in order to pass through. For instance, sound is a mechanical wave because it requires the air to travel through (or any material -- such as water). Light waves are electromagnetic waves because they produce an oscillating electric/magnetic field as it travels. Also because it requires no medium to travel through, this is why the sun's light may reach us here on earth. (Note: it was previously thought that the medium in space which allowed light to travel through, this was referred to as the ether - this is false, space is a vacuum.)
