Sound travels through all matter.
mass or volume. Sound is a type of energy that travels through a medium, such as air or water, in the form of waves. It does not have a physical substance or matter.
Mechanical waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter they travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
That is a longitudinal wave.
Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel
Sound energy travels through your ears. Sound waves are transferred through the air and enter the ear canal, where they vibrate the eardrum and are processed by the inner ear to be interpreted by the brain as sound.
electronic sound waves
primary wave
All types of sound - whether or not it can be heard by someone underwater is rather the question.
The type of wave that moves through matter and vibrates your eardrums is called a sound wave.
A sound wave
Generally , all waves that are studied in physics are affected by the type of matter they travel thru.
the only wave type that can travel through matter is sound. sound waves cause vibrations in the material, which means that the waves move faster the closer the atoms in the component are to each other. for example, water is denser then air, so sound will travel through the water faster than the air.
