If I'm not mistaken all sounds move in waves.

Can sound waves move through space?

No, sound waves require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through, so they cannot move through the vacuum of space where there is no air or other material. In space, sound waves cannot propagate because there is no medium to carry the vibrations.


Does sound move faster through a liquid than through a solid?

Generally, sound moves faster through a solid than through a liquid. This is because the molecules of a solid are more condensed than those of a liquid. However, sound does not move faster through all solids than through all liquids.1


Can sound travel through solid and liquid and gas?

Yes, sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Sound travels as vibrations, and these vibrations can move through the molecules of a material, whether it's a solid, liquid, or gas. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium it is traveling through.


How sound can pass through liquid?

Sound can pass through liquid by creating pressure waves that travel through the liquid molecules. These pressure waves cause the molecules to vibrate, transmitting the sound energy. The speed at which sound travels through liquid is faster than through gases but slower than through solids.


What in solids move faster than in liquid .?

Sound will usually move faster in a solid than in a liquid.


Can sound enter into a solid or a liquid or a gas?

Yes, it can. In fact, for sound to move through anything, it has to "enter" it. Sound is mechanical energy, and this mechanical energy is transferred into the medium through which the sound is traveling. The medium itself supports the transfer of the (mechanical) energy of sound.


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.


Does sound travel more quickly through a liquid or a solid?

A liquid


Does sound move through a solid slowly?

Sound moves through a solid faster than anything. In order it goes, solid, liquid, and gas. So metal is faster than water is faster than air.


Has man ever traveled faster than sound underwater?

A few men have traveled through space faster than sound travels through water but no manned vehicle has traveled through a liquid faster than sound through that liquid.


Why cant sound move through space but light can?

Sound can.


What in solids move faster than in liquids?

Sound will usually move faster in a solid than in a liquid.
