Sound travels through all matter but some materials either absorb sound, reflect sound, or just slow sound down.

What types of matter do sounds travel through?
rarer medium- air
A wave that travels trough empty space or matter?
Both electromagnetic waves and gravity waves can travel through empty space. Gravity waves travel through matter as well; some electromagnetic waves may travel through some types of matter.
How fast does sound travel through brick?
Sound travels through brick at the speed of 3650 meters per second. Sound is a mechanical wave that can travel through many different types of media, such as water, cork, gold, and glass.
What are the materials that absorb sound?
sound can travel through any solid, liquid or gas such as :metal, wood, water and air.
Does a sound wave or a light wave travel faster through a solid?
A sound wave. This is because the sound wave is transverse meaning it needs a medium to travel through. Most solids will block visible light but not other types of light. The solid works best for the transverse because the atoms are close together making it easy to transfer the wave through the material.
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
What types of matter do sounds travel through?
rarer medium- air
What types of materials can sound not travel through?
Spongy materials are the most difficult for sound to travel through. Vacuum is the best acoustic insulation but it doesn't really count for the purpose of this question, since it is not a material but a lack of material.
Can sound pass through rocks?
Sound is a vibration that passes through matter. Sound is capable of traveling through virtually any type of matter, although some types allow sound to travel further or faster. Rock, however, allows sound to travel much more quickly than air does. In fact, elephants communicate with each other from miles away by sending very low pitch rumbling sounds through their feet and into the ground, and then, using their feet, they can detect sounds coming from other elephants.

What kind of waves originate at the focus and can travel through all types of matter?
p waves
What type af matter are sound and light?
sound and light aren't types of matter
What are the materials that absorb sound?
sound can travel through any solid, liquid or gas such as :metal, wood, water and air.
Which types of matter can be attenuated?
None. Light and sound waves can be attenuated, but not matter.

Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
