sound
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.
That would be sound.
medium
Sound (and vibration) waves may only travel in some medium. Such as air, metal and so on. They cannot travel in a vacuum.
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
only through the surface of the earth
