Question

Does sound travel/propagate through a medium?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

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). ... Independent of the motion of sound through the medium, if the medium is moving, the sound is further transported.

Answer 2

Yes sound waves require medium to travel.

Explanation:

• Sound is a type of energy that is created by the vibrating of particles in a medium.

• Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure which propagates through compressible media.

• Sound wave needs medium to propagate. Medium is a matter through which sounds is propagated, it can be liquid, gas or solid.

• The molecules of the matter are responsible for carrying sound waves, so without any medium sound can’t propagate.

• Because the molecules of solids, liquids, and gases convey sound waves from one point to another, sound requires a material medium such as solid, liquid, or gas to move. Because there are no molecules in the vacuum that can vibrate and convey sound waves, sound cannot travel through it.

• Sound wave is characterized as mechanical waves.

• Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another.
• Because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction in order to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles.
