Sound is transmitted through matter as a series of vibrations. When an object vibrates, it causes the surrounding air particles to also vibrate, creating sound waves. These waves travel through the medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) by causing neighboring particles to vibrate in a chain reaction, ultimately reaching our ears where they are detected as sound.

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.
Why is sound matter?
Sound isn't matter, but it travels through matter.Sound is a mechanical wave - it is just air molecules bumping into each other, causing a chain reaction in a particular direction.
Is sound matter or non matter?
Sound is a form of energy that is transmitted through particles in a medium, such as air or water. It is not matter itself, but rather the vibration of these particles that creates the sensation of sound when detected by the auditory system.
Can sound be absorbed?
When sound hits a surface, it is either transmitted through the material or reflected back out, similar as light is. When sound is transmitted through matter, it is diffused (or spread out) by said matter; and also a small portion of the sound is converted to energy (such as heat). This is based on my personal understanding, it may not be 100% accurate but I you out.
What is sound energy transmitted through?
Sound energy is transmitted through a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials. As the sound waves travel through the medium, they cause particles to vibrate, carrying the sound energy from the source to the listener.

Why do sound travels through solid?
All that is required for sound to travel is the presence of atoms. One atom bumps into the next, transfers its kinetic energy, and thus the sound is transmitted. Solid matter is made up of atoms, ergo, sound can pass through it.

What sound is?
Sound is a mechanical wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing.Sound also travels through plasma.Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure that propagates through compressible media such as air or water. Sound can propagate through solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation.
What type of thing does not transmit sound?
Sound and vibration are transmitted by matter. So a vacuum will transmit neither.
Do sounds travel through solids?
All that is required for sound to travel is the presence of atoms. One atom bumps into the next, transfers its kinetic energy, and thus the sound is transmitted. Solid matter is made up of atoms, ergo, sound can pass through it.
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.
Sound travels through which type of matter?
Sound travels through all matter.
What transmits a sound through solid?
Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.
Is sound considered matter?
No, sound travels through matter but is not matter itself.
