if you kno what a wave is then u know what a sound wave is
. it is not a wave of water but a wave of sound. which still carries energy by travelling through or around things. this is why objects may vibrate, from the sound wave travelling through them

Sound waves are longitudinal waves. They transfer energy by molecular collision.
