Can sound travel through gasses?

yes


Do sound waves travel better through solid liquids or gasses?

sound waves travel through best through solids because they are more dense, then liquids, and finally they travel the worst through gasses.


What all can sound Travel through?

Anything with mass; solids, liquids, gasses.


Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?

The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.


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.


What kind of compressional waves travel through gasses liquids and solids?

Sound waves are an excellent example


Why does light travel more quickly through solids than through gasses?

Light generally doesn't travel faster through solids than through gases. Sound does, but not light.


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.


Sound can travel through what?

nothingA sound wave is a mechanical wave that can travel through any gasses, liquids, or solids. sound waves can not travel in outer space because there is nothing for the wave to travel through.Sound is vibration. Thus, it travels through anything that has mass. While it can travel through the air, the travel time and the clarity get better and better as the object gets denser and denser. Seeing as space has no mass, sound cannot travel in space.


How does sound travel differently though solid and gases?

It may seem awkward, but sound actually travels faster through solids than gasses, especially dense solids.


Could sound travel faster in solids or gasses?

Sound DOES travel faster in solids than in gases. The higher the density of the medium, the faster the sound travels.


What does heat not travel very well through?

gasses
