Sound can move through any material, although it must be said that some materials are much better sound conductors than others. In particular, sound can move through liquids and gases as well as solids but not vacuums.
Sound can move through anything that has atoms that can transfer the impulse they get - in other words, basically any type of matter.

Why cant sound move through space but light can?

Sound can.


Can sound move objects?

Yes, sound can move objects through a phenomenon called acoustic levitation, where sound waves create pressure that can lift and move objects.


Can sound waves move objects?

No, sound waves cannot move objects. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, but they do not have the ability to physically move objects.


Can sound waves move through space?

No, sound waves require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through, so they cannot move through the vacuum of space where there is no air or other material. In space, sound waves cannot propagate because there is no medium to carry the vibrations.


Which branch of science studies how sound waves move through the air?

Acoustics is the branch of science that studies how sound waves move through the air and other mediums. It examines the generation, propagation, and reception of sound.


How does sound move through a liquid?

If I'm not mistaken all sounds move in waves.


What is required to create sound?

vibration and a medium for it to move through


Can sound waves move through any kinds of matter?

Yes. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.


Why does sound not travel through space?

Sound does move through space. It doesn't move though empty space, i.e. a vaccuum. In outer space there is a vaccuum (though not necessarily a perfect vaccuum).Sound is caused by vibrations in a medium such as air (or water or wood). These vibrations compress and rarefy the medium. The vibrations move through the medium as waves.In a vaccuum, there is no medium thus there is no sound.


What do sound waves move through?

Any thing that is able to vibrate.


Why don't sound waves move in a vacuum?

There is no air for it to travel through


How does sound move through a medium?

Vibrations are carried through the atoms in a structure. When these vibrations travel through air, they are amplified by the ear drum and sensed by nerves as sound.
