Does waves need a medium to travel through?
No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)

What waves can travel through solids and liquids?
Electro-magnetic waves of many kinds travel through certain solids and liquids: radio waves (these are waves of relatively low frequency/high wavelength) can travel through almost anything. Microwaves - shorter wavelength, higher frequency - need particular materials to stop them. Gamma rays (a form of radioactivity) can pass through many solids, and need a very thick layer of a dense metal such as LEAD to stop them. Visible light, which is also a form of electro-magnetic radiation - can (obviously) travel through some liquids and solids; those which are to some extent transparent.Sound waves - which are pressure waves - can also travel through solids and liquids.Generally, the answer to the question varies according to which solids and liquids are being considered; and each of these will permit a different range of waves to pass through them.

How are light and sound alike?
Sound and light are VERY Different. They are both waves... But light can travel through a vacuum and sound requires a medium (matter... Ex. air or water) to travel through. Also they are 2 different kinds of waves (Light~ Transverse, and Sound~ Longitudinal) Though there are some similarities. Both are waves. Therefore they have wavelengths, frequencies, amplitudes, and speeds. They both can be measured also.
Does air travel through solids liquids and gases?
Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.
Why is a large range of speeds of sounds given for wood and glass?
That is because there are different kinds of glass and wood whose structures are different. As a result sound can travel faster through some types of glass than other types, and similarly with wood.
What different kinds of travel where used in the Oregon trail?
They walked or the were in wagons.
Can sound travel through other kinds of material than air if so does it travel differently?
Sound can travel through all matter. The speed at which it travels depends on the density of the material.
What kinds of substances can sound waves travel through?
Everything. We're all a vibration.
How is light differrent from other kinds of waves?
It doesn't need a medium to travel through.
Different kinds of energy waves that move at the speed of light in a vacuum make up the?
In any substance, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed that light travels through that substance.
Can sound waves move through any kinds of matter?
Yes. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
