Light can propagate through some solids, but not all.

Some transparent solids: Ice, glass, clear plastic, quartz, diamond

Some opaque solids: Rock, wood, copper, gold, meat-loaf

How does sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel though mediums. Solids , liquids , and gas . It also travels though transverse and longitudinal. Also travel through the air......


How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids, and they propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium. They propagate as electromagnetic waves and can travel through empty space.


Which layers can S-waves travel through?

s-waves travel through solids only


What is a material though which a wave travels?

A medium is a material through which a wave travels. These can include solids, liquids, and gases. However, some waves, like light waves, can also travel through a vacuum.


Light wave an sample of mechanical wave?

Light waves are not considered mechanical waves because they do not require a medium to propagate. Mechanical waves, on the other hand, require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum.


Does waves travel through solids or liquids faster?

Sound waves travel faster through denser media, like solids, because the molecules are closer together, making it easier to pass the sound from molecule to molecule. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense media, and they travel fastest through a vacuum.


Which seimic wave goes though liquids?

pressure. waves also known as p waves travel through solids liquids and gasses


what sounds waves travel?

solids


A seismogram shows that p waves travel?

The seismogram shows that P waves travel faster than S waves, as they are the first waves to arrive at the seismograph station after an earthquake occurs. P waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, whereas S waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids.


What waves travel through solids but not liquids?

seismic waves


What can s waves not travel through?

S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D


Why do you know that some waves only travel through solid portions of the earth?

Answer: same reason sound waves can travel though solids. think of air being like a liquid. Answer: In the case of mechancial waves, a transverse wave can go through solids, but not through liquids and gases.
