if a person speak something , the person just behind him is able to listen to that sound.
so how does this disturbance traveled to the later persons??

Sound travels through the air in the form of waves. When an object vibrates, it creates a disturbance in the surrounding air molecules, causing them to compress and expand. This creates a chain reaction, with the molecules transferring the energy to neighboring molecules, eventually reaching our ears as sound.
The speed of sound depends on the medium it is traveling through. In dry air at room temperature, sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second. However, it can travel faster in denser mediums such as water or solids.
Sound waves travel through different mediums by vibrating the molecules in that medium. In solids, such as walls or floors, the molecules are packed tightly together, allowing sound waves to travel faster. In liquids, such as water, the molecules are closer together than in air, allowing sound to travel faster than in air but slower than in solids.
No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum. A vacuum is an area with no matter, so there are no molecules for sound waves to vibrate and travel through. Therefore, sound cannot be heard in space.
The speed of sound is affected by several factors, including the temperature, humidity, and altitude of the medium it is traveling through. As the temperature increases, so does the speed of sound. Humidity and altitude can also affect the speed of sound, with higher levels of humidity and altitude causing it to travel slower.
