Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma or blood, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. It requires a medium to propagate. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

For example, when you flick the rim of a glass, the glass will vibrate imperceptibly. These vibrations move through the air and strike the ear drum of anyone within hearing range (click here to find out 'How Our Ears Hear'). In fact, these vibrations, or sound waves, can move through any medium: gas, liquid or solid.
