Sound energy that passes through a solid is said to be reflected?

Sound energy that pass through a solid is said to be reflected because as sound waves pass from air to a solid, some of the energy is reflected back into the air. Some of the energy will be absorbed by the new medium.


Does sound energy that passes through a solid considered reflected?

depends on what type of solid depends on what type of solid


How does sound waves travel through solid?

incident ray =reflected ray why?


What happens to the speed of sound when it passes through a solid?

It is reflected because of the way the particles are transmited


How does a sound travel through?

Sound, which is mechanical energy, travels through a solid by setting up a mechanical compression wave in that solid. When the compression wave of the sound in air strikes the solid, it compresses the solid. It isn't much, but the energy delivered by the air is transferred into the solid. Waves of compression and rarefaction move through the solid as they did in air, but move much faster in a solid.

What is bad about sound energy?

The bad thing about sound energy is that it doesn't travel as well through air as it does through a solid such as wood, or water.


What energy change occurs when sound is produced?

Sound energy causes the particles in the medium it is traveling through to vibrate. The medium is a solid, liquid or gas.


Write short note on sound energy?

Sound energy travels in linear formation. It travels through a medium like solid or through the air. In space sound does not travel because there is a vacuum.


Can sound enter into a solid or a liquid or a gas?

Yes, it can. In fact, for sound to move through anything, it has to "enter" it. Sound is mechanical energy, and this mechanical energy is transferred into the medium through which the sound is traveling. The medium itself supports the transfer of the (mechanical) energy of sound.


What objects does a sound travel through?

Sound can travel through most solid objects, as well as liquids. The vibrations transfer from molecule to molecule, but can be refracted or reflected by gaps or distortions within the matter.


Why do sound travels through solid?

All that is required for sound to travel is the presence of atoms. One atom bumps into the next, transfers its kinetic energy, and thus the sound is transmitted. Solid matter is made up of atoms, ergo, sound can pass through it.
