primary wave
Longitudinal waves travel by pushing and pulling on matter. The particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, causing compressions and rarefactions along the wave's path. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves.
The phases of matter from fastest to slowest that sound travels through are solids, liquids, and gases. Sound travels fastest through solids because the particles are closer together and can easily transmit vibrations. In liquids, sound travels slower due to the looser arrangement of particles, and in gases, sound travels slowest because the particles are widely spaced.
The primary wave (P-wave) travels fastest through dense matter such as solids. This is due to its ability to compress and expand the material it passes through, allowing it to propagate more quickly compared to other types of waves.
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
Matter can be touched and manipulated when it is in the solid state. In this state, particles are closely packed together and have little mobility, allowing for physical interactions like pushing, pulling, and shaping. Examples of solid matter include rocks, wood, and metals.
That is a longitudinal wave.

Sound travels through all matter.

Energy can be transferred to material things by pushing or pulling AND moving it through a distance. The push or pull is a force, and the amount of energy is the magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance through which it acts. No matter how hard you push or pull, if your force doesn't move through any distance, then no energy is transferred to the thing you're pushing or pulling.
No, sound travels through matter but is not matter itself.
It is not a matter because it actually travels through matter (air)
It vibrates.
"A compressible medium." "A displaceable medium."

Yes, light does slow down when it travels through matter, as it interacts with atoms and molecules in the material. This slowing down of light is responsible for effects like refraction and dispersion.
