Sound (compression) waves.
Waves that require a medium through which to travel are called mechanical waves. They require a medium (gas, solid, and liquid).
Longitudinal waves require a medium to propogate . Example are sound waves
Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. It also requires a source of vibration or disturbance, such as a vibrating object or a sound wave. The vibrations create pressure waves that travel through the medium, and when those waves reach our ears, we perceive them as sound.
Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
Electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves
Waves that require a medium through which to travel are called mechanical waves. They require a medium (gas, solid, and liquid).
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
Longitudinal waves require a medium to propogate . Example are sound waves
medium
The two waves which do not require a medium are electromagnetic waves, also known as light and gravitational waves. Gravity waves have not been detected yet but are predicted by general relativity so are expected to exist.

Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
longitudinal waves definitely requires a medium(air,water,solid) in order to transmit it does not travel through vaccum
