How is the speed of sound affected by medium it travels through?
Sound is affected by the media. It travels high speed in solids generally.
How is the sound speed and the medium related?
When the density of the medium increases, the speed of the sound wave increases.
Sound waves travel by vibrations in what?
Sound is energy of mechanical vibration transferred through a medium. Commonly the medium is air, but solids, liquids and gasses all transmit sound. Indeed, sound travels faster through liquid and solids than through gas. Sound does not propagate through a vacuum.
What is the disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave called?
longitudinal wave. Example: Sound wave
Why does sound travel fastest through a solid medium?
Sound travels further in a solid medium because the atoms are closer together. less energy is dissipated. It's an amplification of sorts.
Relate the speed of sound to different mediums?
The denser the medium, the faster sound travels in it.
What travels through a medium as a disturbence?
Sound.
What is the fact of medium on the speed of sound?
Sound travels at different speeds depending on the medium. Sound will travel the fastest through solids.
Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium?
a medium as longitude wave
How a medium affect sound?
Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.
What form does sound travel through a medium in?
Sound travels through mediums in sound waves.
What will happen when a wave travels through a medium?
when a wave travel through medium then sound is produced
What material can sound energy travel through slowly?
The more closely packed molecules are in a medium, the faster sound travels through the medium, so sound travels slowest through a gas under low pressure.
Why does sound travel quicker through iron then copper?
Sound travels through a medium by vibrations of the molecules in the medium .The denser the medium the easier the sound propagates.Iron has higher density than copper and therefore it travels quicker through iron than copper.
Does sound travel?
Yes, sound is a wave and it travels when there is a medium for it to travel through.
Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium as a?
Longitudinal wave
The speed of a sound wave depend on what?
The medium in which it travels through
