Hollow does not mean empty.

Hollow means there is a container.

Sound will travel in whatever carries it. (all materials consisting of more than two strongbonded captive atoms are not a vacuum, and will carry sound.)

The container, filled with hollowness (you might get near vacuum. grin.), will carry sound from one end to the other because the container has more than two bonded atoms..

Does a hollow have sides?

Yes.

An inside and an outside.

I actually wonder, is there a vacuum inside a single atom?

Jaak.
