I assume you want mean "sound wave travel as?", so I'll answer that. A sound wave is a compression wave, which travels through the air in patterns of called "compressions" and "rarefactions", which are areas of higher than normal and lower than normal air pressure.

On the other hand, you may be asking at what velocity a sound wave travels through the air, which is generally said to be 343 Meters/second. However, this is only partially correct, as the speed of sound varies depending on the density of the medium. 343 M/s is the speed at sea level in 20o Celsius. Cooler air and lower altitude will have higher sound speeds.

A sound wave is this kind of wave?

A sound wave is a mechanical wave that requires a medium for propagation. It consists of compressions and rarefactions of the medium that travel through it, carrying energy and causing the sensation of sound when they reach our ears.


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.
