We know that sound is a mechanical wave and as such, it transfers energy into the medium through which it travels as a means to propagate itself. Without a medium through which to progagate, a mechanical wave cannot move.
as temperature increases kinetic energy increases and speed of sound increases , when elasticity modulus increase rigidity of material increases and speed of sound also increases dr ehab hegazy doctor of physics ehabhegazy99@yahoo.com
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, do not require a material medium for their propagation. They can travel through a vacuum because they are created by oscillating electric and magnetic fields. This is in contrast to mechanical waves, like sound waves, which require a medium such as air or water to propagate.
Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure which propagates through compressible media such as air or water. (Sound can propagate through solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation). During their propagation, waves can be reflected, refracted, or attenuated by the medium. The purpose of this experiment is to examine what effect the characteristics of the medium have on sound.
Sound needs a medium to travel through. This medium can be air, water, or a solid material like metal. Sound waves transfer energy by vibrating particles in the medium they are traveling through.
Medium is of two type One is material medium and other one is non-material Material medium are air medium, water medium etc Non-material medium is vacuum or free space If material medium is essential for the propagation of the wave then that wave is named as mechanical wave. Example: sound waves If such a material medium is not a must then the wave is said to be Electro magentic wave. Example: Light waves.
It needs a material medium for propagation
Because sound waves are mechanical vibrations of material matter. You can't have sound waves in a space where there's no material to vibrate.
These waves cannot pass through free space. They needs a material medium essentially for their propagation. So they are called longitudinal waves (in air).

Propagation of sound in a medium (like the atmosphere) is the collision between the medium particles driven by a vibrating object
since sound needs a medium for its propagation , it requires air particles to travel along with its waves.
For propagation of sound only a material medium is enough and not light. So it could travel thorugh darkness

Sound is really an example of wave propagation of energy. Energy could be transported by two modes. One is by the particles. A good example is electrical energy in the form of current is carried over by the particles such as electrons. The other one is by wave propagation. Wave too is further divided into mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical wave badly needs a material medium to get propagated but electromagnetic does not need a material medium. Sound is an example for mechanical wave and light is an example for electromagnetic wave.
