Sound requires matter as sound is the vibration of matter. Light is more complex as it is the giving off of photons from atoms.

No, sound travels through matter but is not matter itself.


What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?

Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.


What travels through a medium as a disturbence?

A wave travels through a medium as a disturbance. Waves can be mechanical (such as sound waves) or electromagnetic (such as light waves) and they transfer energy without transporting matter.


Why is sound not a matter?

What happens to matter when sound travels through it?

It vibrates.


How light and sound travel different States of matter?

Light can only travel through a transparent medium. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and gets slower the denser the material it is moving through. Sound gets faster the stifferthe material is but cannot move through a vacuum.The states of matter make little difference to light. Only the opacity and density have any effect.The states of matter do matter to sound. Air is less stiff than water, which is not as stiff as ice or steel. The speed of sound in steel is about 16 times faster than the speed of sound in air.


Which travels sound or light?

Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.


What kind of wave does sound travel through?

Sound travels through matter as transverse pressure waves.


Does sound or light travel faster through water?

Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.


Is sound and light made up of matter?

Sound is not made up of matter; it is a disturbance that travels through a medium, such as air or water. Light, on the other hand, is made up of electromagnetic waves, which are forms of energy rather than matter.
