Sound travels faster and more efficiently through liquids then through gases (whales can communicate for hundreds of kilometers)
Sound travels faster and more efficiently through solids then either liquids or gases (ear to a railroad track to hear an oncoming train...don't try this at home).
Exotic states of matter like neutron stars may be "best" for sound.
What else can I help you with?
Why does sound travel fastest through a sold then a liquid and a gas?
That's because sound is a compression wave. It needs a medium to travel through. The best mediums are dense, like metal and concrete. Liquids are okay. Gasses are the worst. Sound will not travel in space because there's no medium for sound to travel through.
Should sound travel best on liquid or a gas?
If by best you mean fastest and/or furthest, than sound travels better through liquid. This is because the speed (and distance) of sound is dependent on the density of the medium it is traveling through. Since sound waves travel better with compression, they move faster in more solid mediums because of the mediums' tightly packed molecules.
What are the materials needed for this project Does sound travel best through solid liquid or gas?
i think you need a solid liquid and gas first to do this project
What surface does sound travel through best?
It travels best through solids
What medium does sound travel through the best?
solid
What surfaces does sound travel through?
It travels best through solids
Sound travels the blank through a solid?
Sound travels the best through a solid. Since the molecules in a solid are closer together than in a gas or liquid the sound waves don't have to travel as far to reach the next molecule.
Why does sound travel best through a solid?
the matter inside is bunched together so sound travels best through a solid.
Do sound waves travel best through air?
Surprisingly no. Air is a gas which means that the molecules are far apart. Even a liquid is better that air for sound to travel through because the molecules are closer together. But, a solid is the best for a sound to travel through. This is because the molecules are very close together so the vibration is transferred much quicker though the material.
Does sound travel best through solidsliquidsor gases?
liquids.
Where does sound travel the best?
Sound travels the fastest through non-porous solids.
What types of materials can sound not travel through?
Spongy materials are the most difficult for sound to travel through. Vacuum is the best acoustic insulation but it doesn't really count for the purpose of this question, since it is not a material but a lack of material.
