What two things does sound travel through?

Sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. It requires a medium to propagate, meaning it cannot travel through a vacuum.


What materials will sound travel through?

Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.


What experiment shows the notion of sound in a vacuum?

Sound needs gases to travel through, therefore it does not exist in a vacuum. In other words to my knowledge there is no experiments where sound is created in a vacuum.


What are the mediums that waves can travel through?

Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.


Waves travel quicker through solid gases?

Waves travel faster through denser materials. However, Electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense materials. It travels fastest in vacuum.


Do sound waves travel best through solids liquids gases or vacuums?

Sounds can't travel through a vacuum, it requires a medium (something to travel through). It can travel through the rest but the best is gases because the particles are more spaced out, unlike solids and liquids which are more closely packed.


Can electromagnetic waves travel through matter through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves such as light can pass through material medium such as water, glass etc and at the same time it could pass through vacuum ie a medium of free space.


Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?

Light does travel through a vacuum.


Can mechanical waves travel through any type of medium?

Yes, mechanical waves can travel through any medium that has particles that can interact and transfer the wave energy. Examples of mediums that mechanical waves can travel through include solids, liquids, and gases.


What types of substances can sound not travel through?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material. Sound also does not travel through gases in the same way it does through solids and liquids because gases are less dense. Additionally, sound does not travel through a perfect insulator that completely blocks the transfer of vibrations.


What can a medium travel thru?

Nothing (say a vacuum). The medium is what the sound travels through.


What is the one thing that cannot travel through a vacuum?
