Sound travles best in what medium?
the denser the medium, the better so a solid is the best.for example, a iron is 16* better than air.
What is refraction of a wave?
It means that the wave changes direction when it passes from one medium to another - for example, from air to water, or from denser air to less dense air.
What waves require a medium and what waves do not?
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium
Do sound waves travel faster in air than in any other medium?
The speed of sound depends on the density of the medium the waves are traveling through. The denser the medium the higher the speed. For example, sound travels faster through water than it does through air.
What are waves that require a medium to travel through?
Medium is of two type One is material medium and other one is non-material Material medium are air medium, water medium etc Non-material medium is vacuum or free space If material medium is essential for the propagation of the wave then that wave is named as mechanical wave. Example: sound waves If such a material medium is not a must then the wave is said to be Electro magentic wave. Example: Light waves.
Define transmission medium?
the substance that energy is transfered through. For example when you hear a sound the transmission medium is air.
Sound travles best in what medium?
the denser the medium, the better so a solid is the best.for example, a iron is 16* better than air.
What is a example of medium?
water is an example of a medium.
What is a refracted wave?
It means that the wave changes direction when it passes from one medium to another - for example, from air to water, or from denser air to less dense air.

Why is refractive index of light necessary?
it is necessary to identify the optical density of a particular medium air for example is 1.00 and the refraction in a medium can be figured out by sinøincidence ÷ sinø refraction
Matter which a wave travle?
Matter through which a wave travels is named as material medium. Example air is a material medium needed for sound waves to pass through
In a pneumatic control system the medium is?
Gas, usually air.
