How fast does a sound wave travel meters per second?
The speed of sound at sea level is 340.29 meters per second.
What do Sound wave not travel?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
Which wave would travel fastest in a vacuum light or sound?
Light would travel faster in a vacuum compared to sound. Light travels at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, while sound cannot travel in a vacuum as it requires a medium to propagate through, such as air, water, or solids.
How long would a wave take to travel 5000 km?
The time it takes for a wave to travel 5000 km depends on the wave's speed. For example, if we're considering sound waves in air, which travel at about 343 meters per second, it would take approximately 14.5 hours. In contrast, electromagnetic waves, such as light, travel at about 299,792 kilometers per second, taking only about 0.01667 seconds to cover the same distance. Thus, the time varies significantly based on the type of wave.
What type of wave does sound travel in?
Longitudinal Wave
Does sound travel?
Yes, sound is a wave and it travels when there is a medium for it to travel through.
What is it that sound cannot travel through?
Sound can travel through any medium. If you remove the medium you would end up with a vacuum. It is in vacuums that sound cannot travel as it needs a medium to travel (it travels as a compression wave or shear wave). Space is almost a perfect vacuum so sound is unable to travel through space.
What is the frequency of a sound wave that has thirty compressions in one second?
The frequency is 30 per second, or 30 'Hertz'.
How long does it take for a sound to go through wood?
The speed of sound in wood is approximately 3,960 meters per second, so it would take about 1 millisecond for a sound wave to travel through 4 centimeters of wood.
What are the objects called that allow sound to travel through them?
Sound is a pressure wave. Objects that "allow" sound to travel through them could be called wave guides.
How long does it take for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water?
Sound travels at approximately 1500 m/s in water. So, it would take about 2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water.
A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
