What is needed in transmation of suond?

Actually wave is a disturbance in the medium. For transfer of sound wave the medium is required.(gas, liquid or solid). the sound wave transfers energy with the molecules of medium by the molecule to molecule the wave will spread out until, the complete loose of energy of the wave.


Does a periodic disturbance of a medium describe a wave?

No. If it happens that the disturbance propagates through the medium, i.e. spreads out from the disturbed point, then the phenomenon that travels away from the disturbance and through the medium describes the wave.
