Why are infrared waves used in fiber optics?
This is because infrared can travel farther with less distortion, i.e., it has less attenuation.
Can echoes travel faster than light?
No. Nothing can travel faster than light.
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning

What is the heat which travel molecule to molecule?
if you mean the transfer rate of heat ?; the heat transfer rate depends on the atom or molecule type .
What travels faster ultraviolet waves or infrared waves in space?
They both travel at the same speed, the speed of light
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.
Why do light waves travel faster then sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves travel independently of the medium through which they travel -- while transparent matter can impede its passage, no transfer of energy from molecule to molecule is required as with sound waves and other vibrations. The speed of sound is limited by the motion of molecules, which is faster in denser materials.
What can infrared travel through?
Infrared radiation can only travel through empty space or transparent objects
Why sound travels faster in solids?
Sounds travel faster in solids because the solid molecules are closer together than the molecules in the air. Sound travels be one molecule hitting the next, so the denser the material, the faster sound will travel in it.
What can infrared light travel across?
It can travel across the vacuum of space.
How do infrared rays travel?
in a yellow submarine
Does sound waves travel faster in water and liquids?
I assume you mean: Does sound waves travels faster in water opposed to air. Yes, yes it does, because sound waves travels by pushing a molecule into another molecule and so forth. The difference between water and air is simply, that the molecules are closer in water, in that way the molecule doesn't have to travel so long before passing on the momentum. That's why the sound can travel both faster and longer in water, whales among others benefit from this, as it enables them to communicate over long distances.
Which travels faster in a vacuum - gamma rays or infrared rays?
In a vacuum, they both travel the exact same speed, the speed of light. IIRC that's about 3x108 meters per second.
Does sound travel travel faster through solid or gas?
Sound travels faster through solids. It does this because sound is generated mainly due to the mediums molecule vibration in a pattern. In solids, the molecules are more closely packed when compared to gases. Hence, the vibration occurs faster and hence the sound is tramsmitted sooner
As em waves travel in space only one can happen... Reflection Attenuation absorption refraction.?
absorption
