Solid, Liquid and Gas... These are the three things a sound wave can get trough... A sound-wave can get trough solid easily, because of all the particles, after that trough Liquid and at least trough Gas...

Do sound waves lose energy more quickly in stiff mediums or in less stiff mediums?
in stiff and not stiff mediums stiff mediums are too strong to let the sound wave molecules pass through, whereas less stiff mediums eventually leave the sound waves to loose energy as they pass through. the atmosphere would have to be just right from mediums, no more, no less.
What type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
All matter. However, sound waves cannot pass through vacuums, such as space.
What medium can sound travel through?
Sound can be transmitted through all mediums (liquid, solid, gaseous) except vacuum.
Does sound travel faster through molecules that are far apart?
No. Sound waves travel fastest through mediums that have tighter or more densely packed molecules. Longitudinal waves need a conductor (i.e. molecule) to transmit sound. The closer the molecules are, the faster a sound wave is able to pass from one to another. Therefore, sound travels fastest through solid mediums (densely packed molecules), then liquids (less densely packed), then gases (least densely packed).
What medium does light pass through?
Light passes through many mediums, but some of the most important are: Water Glass Air & Vacuum And light passes through vacuums the fastest.

What mediums do sound move through?
Sound consists of a wave of vibrations of particles so it must have a material substance to pass through. So sound can pass through solids, liquids and gases but not through a vacuum. See http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/sound.htm

What state of matter does sound energy pass through?
Sound can pass through any state of matter.
What physical property of liquids and solids causes the speed of sound in them to be to be so much greater than the speed of sound in air?
Because of their density, sound waves in the air travel more quickly through the solid and liquid mediums. The energy of a compression wave (such as a sound wave) must pass from atom to atom, which makes the more tightly packed atoms of non-gascious mediums more efficient in transferring sound.
What medium does light pass through?
Light passes through many mediums, but some of the most important are: Water Glass Air & Vacuum And light passes through vacuums the fastest.
Sound energy cannot pass through empty space true or false?
True, sound waves can travel in all three mediums , solids liquids and gases We hear sounds in gas medium. Sonar is an application for sound in liquid. Sound can make solids vibrate upon moving.
Why sound does not pass through the glass?
There is no "why". Sound passes through glass quite easily.
Can sound pass through a closed car?
no
What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
