Mechanical waves require a medium in which to travel. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum.
The height of the wave is called:
hertz
frequency
wavelength
amplitude

All of the above. Sound waves are longitudinal waves that require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, in which to travel. They are also considered mechanical waves as they require the vibration of particles in the medium to propagate.
Sound waves travel fastest though:
steel
water
air

Sound waves travel fastest through solid materials like steel, as the particles are closer together and can transmit the vibrations more efficiently compared to liquids like water or gases like air.
