What is a periodic disturbance in a solid liquid or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium?
A 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.
What is A periodic disturbance in a solid liquid or gas as energy is transmitted through the medium?
That sounds like the description of a wave.
What is the disturbance that travels sound waves?
The disturbance that travels sound waves is the wave itself. A wave, which is the motion of energy, is defined as a disturbance that travels through a medium whether it's air, liquid or a solid.
What is the disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another?
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.

What is a Mechanical waves?
A mechanical wave is a disturbance (an oscillation) that moves through a medium. The source transfers mechanical energy into the medium itself, and the medium propagates the energy of the wave. Examples are sound and an earthquake, and a tsunami.

Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium?
a medium as longitude wave
What is the disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another?
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
We can only hear sound travel because there is a medium that produces a disturbance so our ears can detect it. Can the energy that produces sound travel through space without us hearing it?
No. The medium carries the energy. No medium = no sound + no energy + nothing heard.
What do you call the propagation of disturbance through a medium in which energy is transferred?
That sounds very much like sound waves. (unintentional pun)
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave?
Light does that.
Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium as a?
Longitudinal wave
What wave is sound that is a disturbance which travels through a medium?
Longitudinal
