Either by volumetric compressions, which are based on the material's bulk modulus, or shear stress (think of a multi-car fender-bender where the first car hits the second, hits the third, etc.) which is based on the material's shear modulus.

Through what medium do sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through a medium such as air, water, or solid materials.
Can sound waves travel through a solid?
yes
Why are sound waves not considered a mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.
Can sound waves travel without a meduim?
No, sound waves require a medium to travel through. The medium could be a solid, liquid, or gas, but they cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no particles to transmit the vibrations that carry the sound.
How do sound waves travel trough matter?
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
How does sound travel in solid liqiud and gas?
As pressure waves.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.
In what medium does sound travel fastest - solid -liquid - or gas?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.
Can sound waves travel in ice?
Yes, because ice is a solid.
Where can sound waves travel?
Sound waves can travel through any medium,here medium can be any matter includes solid,liquid,gas,plasma...
Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes, sound waves can travel through air. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. In air, sound waves travel by compressing and rarefying air molecules as they move through the medium.
How does sound travels in a solid explain?
Sound is a series of vibrations. In a solid they travel in waves from particle to particle, causing the solid to make a noise.
