Sound waves don't just travel the slowest in a vacuum, they don't travel at all. The reason is that sound waves, like all mechanical waves, need a medium to travel through.
Due to the fact that sound does not travel in a vacuum, I would say that it is definitely not in a vacuum. But between oxygen and a liquid comes down to how sound is propagated. Sound is propagated by particles transferring energy by collision (which is why it cannot travel through a vacuum, no particles). Therefore, more particles you have in a given volume, the more likely collisions will happen, thus propagating the wave faster. Thus, sound would travel faster in a liquid due to its higher density.
No, ultrasonic wave do not travel at all in a vacuum.
The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.
No, you can not produce sound in a vacuum. Sound wave needs medium (for example air) to travel unlike electromagnetic wave which can travel through empty space.actually, sound wave does not propagate itself rather it needs a medium by which sound particle can transfer there energy from one place to other, so it seems like moving. for eg. when u throw a stone in water ,some ripples form in water they seems to moving but not. like this sound propagate. hence it requires medium
Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum. This fundamental difference in how they travel means that sound is not considered part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
surface wave
because sound waves are vibrations, and in a vacuum, there is nothing for the sound to go through.
sound waves..
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.

a sound wave is the movement of the molecules of the material, so no molecules no sound wave.
Sound can travel through any medium. If you remove the medium you would end up with a vacuum. It is in vacuums that sound cannot travel as it needs a medium to travel (it travels as a compression wave or shear wave). Space is almost a perfect vacuum so sound is unable to travel through space.

Sound waves do not travel through a vacuum. They require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with and thus cannot travel.
Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. Vacuum is devoid of any particles for sound waves to travel through.
It needs a material medium for propagation
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
