What wave is sound that is a disturbance which travels through a medium?
Longitudinal
Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium?
a medium as longitude wave
A single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium?
Sound causes vibrations in waves that pass through a medium.
Does a periodic disturbance of a medium describe a wave?
No. If it happens that the disturbance propagates through the medium, i.e. spreads out from the disturbed point, then the phenomenon that travels away from the disturbance and through the medium describes the wave.
What is the disturbance that travels sound waves?
The disturbance that travels sound waves is the wave itself. A wave, which is the motion of energy, is defined as a disturbance that travels through a medium whether it's air, liquid or a solid.
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave?

The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What is the material a disturbance travels through?
The disturbance is generally called a "wave", and the material (which may be empty space in some cases!) is called the "medium".
What is a wave in which the disturbance of the medium is in the same direction as the wave motion?
The correct answer is: longitudinal or compression.
What type of wave travels parallel to the medium?
longitudinal waves
