Why is light better than sound?
Better for what?
Does sound travels better through water than wood?
Sound travels better through wood than water
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air
Show a simple experiment in which you can know that the black bodies are better heat absorbers than the white bodies?
Take two identical cans.Paint one of them white and other black.Pour equal volumes of water in the two cans.Insert a laboratory thermometer in each can.Place both cans in the sun for about an hour.Read the temperature of water in both the cans.Water in the black can is found to be warmer than that in the white can.This shows that the black bodies are better heat absorbers than the white bodies.
Is germanium a conductor of heat?
Germanium is a semiconductor, it means that electrons are relatively strongly attached to nuclei. As result its thermal properties change. Generally semiconductors have worse thermoconductivity than metals but better than insulators.
Why is brick a better condutor of heat than air?
Because they act as insulators because of their thickness therefore are better conductors of heat :)
Why is light better than sound?
Better for what?
Are substances like wood and plastic better heats conductors like metal?
We find that metal is a better conductor of heat than plastic or wood.
Is metal a better conducter than plastic?
Plastic, wood and paper are insulators and very poor conductors of electricity.
Does sound travels better through water than wood?
Sound travels better through wood than water
Why is snow a better insulator than ice?
Snow has many tiny air pockets, and air pockets are great insulators.
Is wood a better insulator than glass?
No. Wood has more air in it than glass, and air is pretty much accepted to be one of the best insulators ever.
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air
Why are diamonds a better conductor than copper?
Diamonds are normally insulators. In some cases, diamonds can be used as conductors (more like semiconductors, really), but I doubt they would conduct better than a metal.
Is the string a better carrier of sound than air?
Yes, solids transmit sound better than gases because their molecules are closer together.
Is a diamond conductor?
Diamond is an excellent thermal conductor, conducting heat about five times better than copper. Diamonds are electrical insulators.
Do sound waves travels better?
Better than what? - It isn't clear what you are comparing with what.
