Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sound needs a material medium for their propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid and gases carry sound waves from one point to another. Sound cannot progress through the vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sound energy travels through the air in waves. FACT – Sound must have a medium in which to travel. The air molecules transfer the energy by compression waves from one molecule to its neighbor.
