Can sound energy pass through gas?
Yes, sound energy can propagate through gas ( that's the reason we can hear as sound energy travels through the ear to the human ear.)
Is sound a gas?
Sound is a kind of energy. It is the vibrational energy being propagated in the form of longitudinal waves. So sound is not a gas but it needs a gas or other medium to propagate in.
How sound is created and transmitted?
sound is created by the vibration of objects it needs a medium to propagate and transmit energy from one point to another
What wave can not propagate in vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum. Air is needed for sound waves to travel and there is no air in vacuum.
What does sound like?
A medium in which to propagate
What kind of sound are explosions and earthquakes transported by?
the earth

Where does sound not propagate?
sound needs a material medium to travel. Sound can travel by compression and rarefactions.attma

Can you stop sound in mid air?
Sound propagate in the form of waves. Waves have energy so they propagate through the medium. Unless you can reflect it back , or damp the sound wave using some or the other way, it is virtually impossible to "stop" a sound in mid air
How does energy propagate as a wave?
The details vary, depending on the type of wave. For example, in a sound wave, one particle bumps into the next, and transmits the kinetic energy.
What wave can not propagate in vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum. Air is needed for sound waves to travel and there is no air in vacuum.
Does sound exist in space?
No. Sound needs a medium to propagate.
Do mechanical waves need a medium to transfer energy?
Yes. For example, sound needs media (air, water, etc.) to propagate.
Does a hammer make a sound when it hits a rock in space?
Yes, the potential for sound is made by the energy of the impact - (sound will occur in the hammer and in the rock), BUT the sound never leaves the hammer/rock as there is no air in space though which the sound waves can propagate.
How are sunquakes and earthquakes similar?
Think of them both as transmission of sound energy through a spherical body.
