Yes sound can travel through matter. Sound is just a cyclic change in pressure. You can prove this to yourself by placing your ear on a wall and knocking on the wall. You will notice that the sound is much louder with you ear pressed against the wall as opposed to not pressed against the wall. This pressure wave in matter causes the motion of particles within the matter causing compressions and expansions. This occurs regardless of the phase of matter, be it liquid, gas, or solid. Hope that helps
What else can I help you with?
Why do you think sound cannot travel through vacuum?
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel as it relies on the vibration of particles within the medium to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to interact with and transmit energy, which is why sound cannot travel through it.
A region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel?
A vacuum is a region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel. In a vacuum, there are no particles to transmit sound waves, so no sound can be heard.
What can't sound travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
What medium sound waves travel through?
Sound waves can travel through any matter- liquid, gas or solids. The denser the matter, the faster the sound travels. It cannot travel through vacuum- a vacuum is an absence of matter.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
In what form does sound travel through matter?
Through waves
Why do you think sound cannot travel through vacuum?

When a tree falls can sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.

Can sound travel through waves?
I'm pretty sure they can travel through matter It depends on the matter, but many materials will transmit sound.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
Which states matter can sound travel?
Sound can travel through any state of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. The speed of sound can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through, with sound traveling fastest through solids and slowest through gases.
How do sound waves travel trough matter?
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
What kind of wave does sound travel through?
Sound travels through matter as transverse pressure waves.
