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
Sound waves travel though mediums. Solids , liquids , and gas . It also travels though transverse and longitudinal. Also travel through the air......
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.
s-waves travel through solids only
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 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.
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.
pressure. waves also known as p waves travel through solids liquids and gasses
solids
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.
seismic waves
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
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.
