Does sound travel faster through a liquid or gas?
it travels fast in gases
Can heat travel by conduction through a gas?
No, it travels by convection. Heat rises in the air and then the cool air is drawn in by the heat.
Does mechanical waves travel faster through vacuum than through air?
Mechanical waves are waves that need medium to propagate so they don`t travel through vacuum but through solid , liquid or gas.
What material would sound travel faster air iron or water?
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
What type of media can sound travel through?
Because waves, such as sound, need to travel through a medium, whether it be water, air, etc. Since in empty space, there is no air, therefore there is no medium to travel in, so sound cannot travel.Sound waves require a medium (solid, liquid or gas) to travel through. They do this by alternately compressing and rarifying the distanced between the atoms or molecules of the medium.
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
How fast does humidity travel through the air?
Humidity is a condition of a gas, you add moisture to a gas to increase it's humidity and dry it to reduce the humidity when air gets to 100% humidity it may rain?
Does sound travel faster through a liquid or gas?
it travels fast in gases
Does sound travel through liquid or gas faster?
it travels fast in gases
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas medium?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
Can sound travel through a gas like air?
Of course. It does all the time. It can travel through anything with molecules. Probably not a vaccum though.
Can heat travel by conduction through a gas?
No, it travels by convection. Heat rises in the air and then the cool air is drawn in by the heat.
Is it true that sound waves travel faster through air than through solids?
Through solids because the particles are closer than gas particles.
Can a p wave travel through gas?
P waves can travel through gas, solids, and liquids and Swaves can only travel through solids.
Does mechanical waves travel faster through vacuum than through air?
Mechanical waves are waves that need medium to propagate so they don`t travel through vacuum but through solid , liquid or gas.
How does sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel though mediums. Solids , liquids , and gas . It also travels though transverse and longitudinal. Also travel through the air......
How fast does light travel in a gas?
The speed is relative to the gas and its density. It depends what kind of gas you're talking about. At 0 °C and 1 ATM pressure: Light travels at 299704644.53915 metres per second through air. Light has been slowed to down to 38 mph when passed through chilled sodium gas. Light has even been stopped to a halt.
