What else can I help you with?
Does sound travel in a liquid?
Yes sound can travel in liquid, its speed is lesser than that in solid and more than that of gas.
How are sound waves longitudinal?
Yes sound waves are longitudinal, rather than transverse, the oscillate parallel to the direction of travel
What is the fasted speed sound can travel through?
Your question needs to be defined more clearly, do you mean through which medium does sound travel the fastest? If so, in general the more dense the medium is the faster the sound wave travels; sound travels through Air (a gas) slower than through water (a liquid) because the sound is transmitted by the molecules colliding therefore the more dense the medium the easier the force is transmitted in a direction. It is also for this reason why sound can not travel through a vacuum (there are no particles in a vacuum to transmit the sound wave)
Why is sound louder in water than in air?
Sound is louder in water than in air because water is denser than air, allowing sound waves to travel more effectively and with less loss of energy. In water, sound waves can travel faster and more efficiently, resulting in louder sound perception compared to air.
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
Can sound travel underwater why?
Yes, sound can travel underwater because water is a denser medium than air, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently. The speed at which sound travels in water is much faster than in air, which is why whales and dolphins use sound to communicate over long distances.
Why does sound travel through solids faster than air?
Sound waves travel faster in solids than in a gas, because the molecules are more closely coupled together (it is a solid remember?) and are more densely packed than in a gas (where they are free to wander).
Is the sound travel faster in solid than gases?
Yes, it does. This is because the particles in a solid are closer together than in a gas, and the sound can therefore move more easily from one particle to the next, making the sound travel faster.
What are the condition required for occurrence an echo?
A true echo is one in which the source of sound is located in close vicinity to the receiver. You will requirea pulse of sound,a reflecting surface which is more than 17.2 metres from the sound source,the reflecting surface must be sufficiently smooth and at right angles to the direction of travel of the sound waves.
Why do sound waves travel more quickly through dry air than moist air?
Sound waves travel more quickly through dry air than moist air because dry air is less dense than moist air, allowing sound waves to propagate more easily and quickly through it.
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound travels better through a string because the particles in a solid are more closely packed and can transmit vibrations more efficiently than in air. In air, the particles are more spread out, leading to greater energy loss and lower transmission of sound.
Does sound travels faster downwind than upwind?
Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
