How do sound waves travel through differently through gas solid and liquid?

Answer 1

Sound is an energy wave, and as the wave hits the atoms or molecules of a medium (liquid, gas or solid) a very slight amount of the initial energy is expended at impact. This impact slams the atoms or molecules into others, spreading out the wave and eventually dissipating the energy originally produced.

Answer 2

Sound (unlike light) needs a medium to travel. The vibration travels making the molecules in the medium vibrate. The first vibrating molecule makes the next one vibrate & so on till the vibration reaches the other side of the medium.

Also (unlike light) sound doesnt travel in straight lines. It travels in waves. & can move in other directions than a straight line too.

Answer 3

Sound is a form of energy and is formed by a vibration. The vibrating body transfers its energy to the neighbouring molecules in a medium, which in turn passes the energy to the other molecules. Thus, sound is propagated.

Answer 4

sound travels in waves, and passes through other materials. the waves widen as they travel outwards, and the further the waves get from the source, the fainter they become. some substances have more resistance to sound waves than others. to the best of my knowledge, air/gas is the least resistant, while liquids are the most resistant.

Answer 5

sound is made up of vibrations, and so you hear sound as the vibrations travel through the particles of solids liquids and gases.

Answer 6

sound waves travel through gas the slowest.sound waves travel through liquids slow and fast, in the middle.sound waves travel through solids the fastest.
