Sound is a wave and is carried by the motion of molecules as they are disturbed by that wave. A solid can transmit waves as long as the atoms are not packed together too tightly and there is some room for movement. This includes tables, doors, walls, windows and so on. Most things you deal with on a daily basis will conduct some degree of sound, its just a matter of how much.
What else can I help you with?
Can sound travel through a table?
no
How a wooden table can show that sound waves can travel through solids?
Put your ear on a table and hit the table the soundwave is caused by the vibration of particles in the table which transfer the sound wave to your ear where it is picked up as a vibration. sound travels through everything which contains particles. It will not travel through space as it is a vacuum and contains no particles therefore cannot pass the vibrations on.
Why do you hear the sound when hanger is tapped with the table?
When a hanger is tapped on a table, the impact creates vibrations in the hanger, which in turn produces sound waves. These sound waves travel through the air and reach our ears, where they are detected by our auditory system, allowing us to hear the sound.
What happens when you put your ear to the table and tap a pencil against it?
When you put your ear to the table and tap a pencil against it, you will hear the vibrations of the pencil as sound waves travel through the table and into your ear. The table acts as a medium to transmit the sound waves, which allows you to hear the tapping more clearly.
When you twang a ruler on edge of a table why does it make a sound?
When you twang a ruler on the edge of a table, you create vibrations in the ruler. These vibrations disturb the surrounding air molecules, generating sound waves that travel through the air. The frequency of these vibrations determines the pitch of the sound you hear. Essentially, the ruler's motion converts mechanical energy into sound energy.
If you twang a ruler far away from the table will the sound be higher or lower?
When you twang a ruler close to the table there is less vibration so the sound is higher, when you twang it farther away there is more vibration so the sound is lower.Do double check just test for yourself.
How is sound heard through solids?
In solids the molecules are so tightly compacted that when it is hit be something the sound waves will travel through the solid object where if you put your ear up to the solid object you will be able to hear the hitting sound. Like all waves there is a limited distance the sound waves can travel, so you will only be able to hear the hitting sound if you are close enough to the point at which the hitting occured. Much like knocking on a table
Data table for sound waves through different materials affect the sound we hear?
no
What evidence is there that sound travels through solids?
Sound travels through solids because solids have molecules that can transmit vibrations. This can be observed in activities such as tapping a table and hearing the sound travel through it. Additionally, studies have shown that sound waves propagate faster in solids compared to liquids or gases.
What experiment can prove that sound waves can travel underwater?
get something metallic hit it on the table and then put it in a bole.
Sound waves travel fastest through solids?
In a nutshell. As most people could/would/should know is that matter is denser in a solid. AKA gas is less dense than solid. Sound waves travel through these gasses and solids. Sound travels like waves on water. With this effect, the matter in something such as a table is closer and denser than air. It travels faster as a result and you hear it better. Try it sometime by putting your head on a table then tapping it and taking your head off and tapping. The sound is significantly lower. This is ALSO why you cannot hear noise in space, go gas or solid for sound to go through = no sound. Sound relies on the compression and rarefaction of solids and gasses to get around. Again. Sound is like water waves. Answer by Mathew Cutshall
According to the table in which medium does sound travel at the fastest speed?
According to the table the medium that sound travels at fastest speed is the electromagnetic waves.
