What do you know about the speed of the 2 waves in the vacuum?
All electromagnetic waves, light, x-rays, etc travel at the same speed. Sound waves require a medium to travel thru, so they cannot travel thru a vacuum.
Who is the scientist that discovered soundwaves?
Da Vinci & later Robert Boyle concluded they must travel thru a medium.
Why longitudinal waves cannot travel in space?
Longitudinal waves are compressional waves which means they travel in one direction and do not radiate out. They are created by continuous intermittent compression and thus will have sparse spacing and then compressed and then sparse, compressed and so on. Such wave requires a medium such as solid liquid or air to travel thru. They cannot travel thru space.
Why can't sound travel through a medium?
It Can it needs a medium to travel
How fast a wave travels through a medium?
P waves travel about 1 to 5 miles per second. It depends on what they are traveling thru. They will travel thru solids, liquids, and gasses.

How long does it take for sound to travel a mile on the moon?
Since the moon has little to no atmosphere, sound cannot move as it has no medium to travel thru.

Why do some colors traval further than others?
thru a vacuum all colors travel the same. thru other media, the straight line distance traveled will depend on absorption, diffraction, diffusion thru interaction with dispersed particles in the medium.
When a wave travels through a medium certain molecules travel with that wave and carry the waves signal?
No. The energy of the wave moves thru the molecules that carry it.

What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel in
Why does a sound wave travel through a medium?
waves are easily travel in medium.....
What is the Medium definition?
A substance thru which an effect is transmitted from one thing to another, as air is the common medium of sound.
