Does sound travel?

Yes, sound is a wave and it travels when there is a medium for it to travel through.


Which type of wave is sound?

Sound is a mechanical wave and must travel through a medium, such as air, water, and solids. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.


What type of wave requires a material medium through which to travel?

We know that mechanical waves require a medium through which to travel. An example of a mechanical wave is a sound (acoustic) wave. The wave transfers its energy into the medium so that it can propagate through it. In contrast, electromagnetic waves don't require a medium through which to travel. They move perfectly well through the vacuum of space.


The matter through which a wave travels is called?
