Sound waves can move through almost any medium, although it moves more slowly through solid medium than gaseous. Water waves can move only through air or water.

Differences between light and sound waves?
The differences between light and sound are as follows:Light can be considered to be made of waves as well as particles. Sound is only a wave. It does not show particle nature.Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves.Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal.Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum.The speed of light in a medium is constant. The velocity of sound waves can change.In sound waves, the particles of the medium actually oscillate. In a light wave, the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate.Light waves can be polarized, but sound waves cannot.Light waves travel much faster than sound waves. The speed of light is a physical constant. Its value is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second in vacuuum. The speed of sound is 343 metres per second in dry air at 20°C.And finally, a simple one - you can see light while you can hear sound.
What is sound discrimination?
Auditory discrimination is the ability to detect similarities and differences when listening to sounds. http://www.teachingexpertise.com/articles/activities-to-develop-auditory-discrimination-skills-1101
As the temperature of a medium increases the rate of speed of sound through the medium what?
The speed of sound through the medium also increases.
When the temperature of a medium increases the speed of sound decreases true or false?
No it is not true. When the temperature of the medium increases the speed of sound in that medium increases.
Is it true that the state of medium heps determine the speed of sound passing through the medium?
Yes it is true, the state of a medium helps determine the speed of sound passing through the medium.
What are differences and similarities of sound and light?
sound can travel in vaccum but light cannot travel in vaccum
What is the difference between a robin and an oriole?
What kind of oriole do you mean? No matter what kind of oriole it is, there are more differences than similarities. Robins and orioles don't look, act or sound similar.
Similarities between sound waves made by a guitar and sound waves made by a flute?
there are none
What do you mean by propagation of sound?
Propagation of sound in a medium (like the atmosphere) is the collision between the medium particles driven by a vibrating object
What is the point between the medium and trough of a sound wave?
node

What are the major linguistic differences between Kanto-ben and Kansai-ben?
There are many differences between Kanto-ben and Kansai-ben that include differences in words, sound differences and stress pattern differences.
Why sound of explosion are not heard by us which occur on sun?
Sound is a mechanincal vibration which badly needs a material medium. But there is no material medium in between sun and earth
How far can sound travel in space between astonauts?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through to propagate from point A to point B. In space there is no such medium, so sound does not travel in space.
What is the relation between sound and the temperature of material?
I think there is no relation between sound and temperature. But velocity of sound is found to be proportional to the square root of temperature of the medium (air)
What is the differences between the lute and the guitar?
I think it would be easier to list the similarities, They are string instruments,they both have necks (Lutes can be fretted or unfretted Guitars are always fretted), they both have hollow bodies to amplify the sound the strings make when plucked
What is the fact of medium on the speed of sound?
Sound travels at different speeds depending on the medium. Sound will travel the fastest through solids.
