normally, in everyday life, speech, (which is essentially just sounds waves which your brain recognizes as a familiar pattern & interprets it to have meaning) travels through air ( a gas). Soun also travels excelently through solids, which is why the classic "telephone" which two cans & a wire works so well ;). Sound can also travel through a liqiud such as water, but not very well. On a side note, sound cannot travel through a vaccuum such as space (which is the absence of mediums) despite popular belief (such as Star Wars has encouraged)

Sound waves cannot travel in vacuum.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

∙ 13y agoSound can travel in all media. Solids, Liquids, gases, you name it!
It travels faster in solids than in liquids, than in gases. It cannot travel through vacuum though.

What form does sound travel through a medium in?
Sound travels through mediums in sound waves.
Can sound travel through honey?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums effectively, as long as the amplitude and frequency of the sound wave is great enough.
Can sound travel through solids and liquids?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums including solids and liquids. However, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Why does sound travel at different speeds through different mediums?
because of material density
What are mediums that waves can travel through?
This depends a lot on the type of waves you're talking about. Sound waves, for example, can travel through water, solid, and air mediums, but not through a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves, however, can travel in a vacuum.
What Mediums do sound waves travel the fastest?
air

Sound travels through mediums in sound waves.
What mediums do sound waves travel through easiest?
Metals such as iron
Can sound travel through honey?

What energy that can travel through different mediums but cannot travel a vacuum?
The word you're looking for is... sound.
Can sound travel through solids and liquids?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums including solids and liquids. However, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
What vibrations travel through liquids solids and gases?
Sound can penetrate those mediums.
How sounds travel in different mediums?
Sound travels faster the more dense the medium
Why does sound travel at different speeds through different mediums?
because of material density
How does sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel though mediums. Solids , liquids , and gas . It also travels though transverse and longitudinal. Also travel through the air......
What are mediums that waves can travel through?

How are light and sound waves different in terms of speed type of wave and mediums?
Light waves travel at approx 300,000 kilometres per second, sound at approx 0.343 kilometres/second.Light waves can travel in vacuum or through some media (there is no such word as mediums!). Sound waves cannot travel through vacuum: they needs a physical medium.
