Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum. Air is needed for sound waves to travel and there is no air in vacuum.
The type of wave that requires a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum is called a mechanical wave.
No, mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate. Without a medium, like in a vacuum, there are no particles for the wave to travel through, so it cannot propagate. Sound waves, for example, can't travel through a vacuum.
No, ultrasound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound wave to travel through, so it cannot propagate.
No, explosive shock waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the shock wave to travel through, so it would not propagate.
A mechanical wave cannot transmit energy through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the wave to travel through, so it cannot transfer energy.

Sound being a longitudinal mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. In a vacuum (like the outer space), there is no matter to act as the medium and thus sound waves can not propagate.

Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can be transmitted through the vacuum of space as they do not require a medium to propagate.
No, eletromagnetic waves propagate in two planes (eletro-magnetic) and can propagate in a vacuum. Water waves, on the other hand, are dependant on matter to transfer energy, making it a mechanical wave, not an eletromagnetic one.
An electromagnetic wave does not require a medium to travel through, whereas a mechanical wave does. This property is known as the ability of an electromagnetic wave to propagate through a vacuum.
An ocean wave is considered to be a mechanical wave, as it requires a medium (water) to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
