Propagation means "movement through" something in this context. You can study the propagation of sound through air, for example, the most common kind of sound there is for people. Sound propagates through water as well, as you can easily prove by taking a dip in the pool. Does sound propagate through a vacuum? Does it propagate through other materials? These are testable questions.

What the sound of thunder?
Thunder is the sound of lightning, because lightning moves faster then sound it takes a few seconds for the sound to catch up. So there is no sound of thunder, thunder is just the sound of lightning.
Where does sound not propagate?
sound needs a material medium to travel. Sound can travel by compression and rarefactions.attma
What properties of sound determine the pitch of sound?
The pitch is determined by how high the sound is.
How do air molecules enable sound to travel from a radio speaker to your ear?
Sounds waves are compressional, and compressional waves are made up of compressions and rarefactions. When the radio speaker pumps sound outward, it forms a compression by pushing the molecules in air together. The compression moves away from the speaker as these molecules collide with other molecules in air. When the sound travels back, a rarefaction is formed where the molecules are farther apart. The air molecules form compressions and rarefactions. Compressions and rarefactions make up compressional waves. A sound wave is a compressional wave.
What is the sound of thunder?

What do you mean by propagation of sound?
Propagation of sound in a medium (like the atmosphere) is the collision between the medium particles driven by a vibrating object
What is the study of production and propagation of sound?
Acoustics.
What it sound propagation?
Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure which propagates through compressible media such as air or water. (Sound can propagate through solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation). During their propagation, waves can be reflected, refracted, or attenuated by the medium. The purpose of this experiment is to examine what effect the characteristics of the medium have on sound.
What is the motion of light or sound wave called?
Propagation.
What is the study of the propagation and production of sound waves?
Acoustics.
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Which is the meaning of propagation?
The act of propagating; continuance or multiplication of the kind by generation or successive production; as, the propagation of animals or plants., The spreading abroad, or extension, of anything; diffusion; dissemination; as, the propagation of sound; the propagation of the gospel.
What is the type of waves of the propagation of sound in air- Longtudinal or Transversal?
The type of waves for the propagation of sound in air is longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
How does pressure affect sound wave propagation?
Only the temperature is changing the speed of sound.
What is a three-dimensional sound called?
Sound! It normally mode of propagation IS in three dimensions.
Do sound molecules move perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation?
Sound molecules traveling through air is an example of a longitudinal wave. It moves parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Do sound sound waves travel up or down and back or forth?
Back and forth in the direction of propagation of the sound waves.
