Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.

A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.
primary wave
That is a longitudinal wave.

sound.
Matter through which a wave travels is named as material medium. Example air is a material medium needed for sound waves to pass through
The general term for what a wave travels through is a medium, but in the case of earthquakes the wave travels through the ground.
Sound travels through matter as transverse pressure waves.

Sound wave's transmit energy and not matter because sound travels from particle to particle transferring only energy. That is why when sound travels only the energy travels and the particles just collide with each other but stay in their positions.
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.
