Why does light travel more quickly through solids than through gasses?
Light generally doesn't travel faster through solids than through gases. Sound does, but not light.
What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?
Sound travels faster through a solid than through a vacuum. In a solid, sound waves propagate through the material's molecules, leading to faster transmission. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound, so it cannot travel at all.
Does sound travel faster through oxygen light water or metal?
metal since it is solid
Can light travel as fast as sound?
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
Does sound travel faster in the presents of light?
no
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
Which wave would travel fastest in a vacuum light or sound?
Light would travel faster in a vacuum compared to sound. Light travels at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, while sound cannot travel in a vacuum as it requires a medium to propagate through, such as air, water, or solids.
Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Would sound travel faster through water or through air?
sound travels faster through water than air.
Does a sound wave or a light wave travel faster through a solid?
A sound wave. This is because the sound wave is transverse meaning it needs a medium to travel through. Most solids will block visible light but not other types of light. The solid works best for the transverse because the atoms are close together making it easy to transfer the wave through the material.
What does the light travel faster than the sound?
Light travels faster than sound because it does not require a medium to travel through, whereas sound does. Light travels through the vacuum of space at a speed of approximately 186,000 miles per second, while sound travels through air at a much slower speed of about 1,125 feet per second.
Why does light travel faster that sound in the air?
Sound requires the physical motion of material. Light doesn't.
