Sound wave travels from one part in to another part in air due to change in density of molecules from one point to another point
When you say "sound wave", you MEAN moving molecules.
Sound waves -- which are a form of longitudinal wave -- propagate through air and other media by compressing the molecules of the media in which it is traveling. Go to this site to see an animation of a ringing bell: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/sound-card1.htm
The type of waves for the propagation of sound in air is longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.
The sound wave speeds up and bends.
Sound molecules traveling through air is an example of a longitudinal wave. It moves parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
water travels as a transverse wave (meaning that the water molecules move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the path of the wave. the molecules move up and down while the wave moves in horizontal direction).
When you say "sound wave", you MEAN moving molecules.
Sound is a wave- waves pass through a medium by disturbing adjacent molecules in the medium and causing displacement of these molecules. The displacement of these molecules in turn causes displacement of more molecules, and thus the wave propagates. For example, you say something to someone (an example more common day). This is a sound wave in air. The air molecules right in front of you get displaced, and begin to move up and down. Do the air molecules right in front of you actually move to the other person? No, instead their displacement causes displacement of other molecules, which gets passed along in a chain reaction manner until the molecules around the other person are displaced. In this manner, a wave propagates. Sound waves propagate through matter in the same way, except since the molecules are closer together than in a gas or liquid the wave can move faster. Thus, waves move faster in solids than in liquids or gas.
the sound waves when you hit something it will create vibrations and then you will hear. it will travel to you by the sound waves . A sound wave is a regular mechanical vibration that travels through matter, usually air. The cause is something vibrates and that motion is transferred to the air molecules nearest the object. They in turn move and bump into other molecules and a chain reaction occurs. This allows the energy of the sound wave to travel through the air while the air does not move hardly at all.
A radio wave travels about 874,000 times as fast as a sound wave,plus it doesn't need any material to move through, as sound does.
No. There is no sound wave below the atomic or molecular level. A sound wave is mechanical energy that is the result of the stimulation of groups of atoms or molecules. Sound cannot travel unless it can impart mechanical energy into the medium through which it is going to travel. And the atoms and/or molecules of a medium react to the mechanical stimulation and create and provide a medium of travel for the energy. Sound can move from one medium to another, as you might have guessed.
Nothing. That IS how a sound wave is propagated.
The denser a material is, the faster sound waves will propagate through it. Sound wave will generally propagate more easily through solids as they are denser than liquids or gases.

the bell in a vacuum, in a vacuum there is nothing for the sound wave to move through
a sound wave is the movement of the molecules of the material, so no molecules no sound wave.
