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 is the medium through which an ocean wave will travel?
The medium of an ocean wave is water.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What type of wave can't travel through space?
Sound waves cannot travel through space.
What does mechanical wave needs to travel?
It has to travel through a medium. This is usually air, but could be any material such as water or steel. Mechanical waves cannot travel through vacuums as EM waves can x
What type of wave cannot travel completely through water?
The S Wave (Secondary Wave) cannot travel through water. On the P Wave (Primary Wave) and the Surface Wave can travel through water.
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.
A body wave that cannot travel through liquids is?
S wave
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
What wave cannot travel through empty space?
Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
What is the medium through which an ocean wave will travel?
The medium of an ocean wave is water.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What type of wave can't travel through space?
Sound waves cannot travel through space.
What does mechanical wave needs to travel?

What kind of wave cannot travel through a vacuum?
sound waves..
What can sounds not travel through?
Since sound is a mechanical wave (it needs a substance to travel through) it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Sound cannot travel through what?
As sound is a mechanical wave (unlike light, an electromagnetic wave), it requires a medium in which to travel, therefore, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
