What types of materials does heat not travel through?
Heat can and does travel through all matter. It's just that some materials carry it much slower than others, and these are called insulators. The best ones being foam type materials.
What example of materials allow heat to travel?
Copper, silver and aluminum are all good conductors of heat.
Which substance can heat travel through convection?
All substances.
Can sound travel through all materials?
If there are atoms then the wave of energy can pass through it. If there aren't any atoms (in a vacuum) then sound cannot travel. Remember: In space, no one can hear you scream.
What will light not travel through?
A material through which light (or a certain color of light) won't pass through is said to be OPAQUE for light (or for that color of light). Most materials around us are opaque for visible light; only a few materials, such as air and other gases, water, and glass, are transparent, meaning they do let light through.
Which is true heat can travel well through all materials or heat can travel well through some materials?
Some, but not all. Some materials are insulators- heat does not travel well through them.

All substances.
What is the scientific name for materials that let heat travel through them?
Substances that allow heat to travel through them are called conductors; they are usually metals and are used in cooking to make use of their property. Other items, which do not conduct the heat, are called insulators.

What materials can light not travel through?
Light cannot travel through an opaque material. The word "opaque" simply means that a substance isn't transparent or translucent. So most everyday materials, like wood, plastic, iron, and people are all opaque.
Can all electromagnetic waves travel through empty space?
Yes - heat, light, ultraviolet all reach us from the sun through empty space.
Does sound travel with the same speed through all materials?
no......... the speed changes as it goes through different materials example: when sound goes through air it is faster then when it transfers to go through water because water is more dense and there are more particles for it to have to pass through
How can seismic waves be used to help scientists know what type of materials each layer of the earth is made of?
A+ answer: all waves change directions as they travel through different materials
