The word "via" is latin for "by way of". To say something traveled via air waves is to say that something was broadcast by radio.
Yes, sound waves can travel through air. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. In air, sound waves travel by compressing and rarefying air molecules as they move through the medium.
Sound waves travel fastest through air because the molecules are spread out the most. They travel slowest through solid because the molecules are very tightly packed together. They do not travel through a vacuum at all.
Energy waves moving through the air are typically referred to as sound waves. These waves are produced when an object vibrates and causes the air molecules to also vibrate, creating variations in air pressure that propagate through the air as sound.
They need some medium to propagate, as they travel through the agitations in medium
Sound waves transmit information through the air by vibrating molecules in the air, creating changes in air pressure that travel as waves. These waves are detected by our ears and converted into electrical signals that our brain interprets as sound.
No, the basilar membrane does not directly receive sound waves via air. Sound waves enter the ear through the ear canal and cause vibrations in the eardrum, which then transmit these vibrations to the middle ear bones. The movement of these bones leads to the vibrations of the oval window, which in turn causes fluid in the cochlea to create waves that stimulate the basilar membrane.
Sound is just waves within a medium (Air), you could quite effectively create a model via a tub of water and show waves bouncing off the sides, sound will have a similar propagation to the water waves.
Water waves are appearing to naked eyes, sound waves are not appearing. there are sound waves traveling in the water and air too. it may difficult to say Air has waves such as water waves.
No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.
Sound creates waves in a material- compression waves. These waves are transmitted through the atoms/molecules in the material to the receiver. The denser a material is, the more effectively sound may travel; this is because the sound waves are transmitted more easily through the tightly packed molecules.
Sound waves travel via vibrating molecules in air or other materials (water for example). On the Moon there is no atmosphere and as such nothing for sound waves to travel in.

yes.
transverst waves
Waves in Air give a great example: they occur in two types - compression [compressed Air] and rarefaction [expanded or decompressed Air] Waves.
