Any gas in fact, also liquids and many homogenious materials like metal.

∙ 14y agoThe mechanical vibrations that can be interpreted as sound are able to travel through all forms of matter: gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas. The matter that supports the sound is called the medium. Sound cannot travel through vacuum.

∙ 7y agoSound waves can travel through any material, but not through a VACUUM. You may be thinking of the term "MEDIUM", which is often used GENERICALLY to signify what a 'Wave" is traveling through.

The material is called "matter".

Sound travels the slowest through which of these?
The speed of sound in a material is dependent on several factors. Basically it travels through denser materials at a different rate than rarefied materials, through compressible materials at a different rate than incompressible materials, and through stiffer materials at a different rate than nonrigid materials. A slower velocity of sound would be noted in a dense, compressible nonrigid material.
Do sound waves travel faster through gases or solids?
Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. This is because longitudinal waves require collisions between particles to transmit energy - in dense materials, the atoms are closer together, leading to more collisions per second, increasing the speed of transmission. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.
In which of the following material does sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels faster in denser objects. And iridium and osmium are the densest elements found on earth.answ2. But the speed of sound in a simple solid depends upon its 'elasticity' and its density. Beryllium has a c of around 13 km/s, but is far from the most dense metal.And in general, the speed of sound in a metal is roughly five times that of sound in air; and the speed in a liquid is about three times that of air; but both vary widely.
Sound travels slowest through which matter?
The speed of sound depends greatly on the substance through which the sound waves travel. The speed of sound through air is faster than through other more dense gases such as carbon dioxide, but slower through lighter gases such as hydrogen. The speed of sound, only a little more than 1,000 feet per second through dry air, is almost a mile per second (amost five times faster) through water, two miles per second through copper, and more than three miles per second through steel.
Sound waves travel through gas liquid and solids?
yes it travels through all three medium. infact sound will travle much faster through liquid and solid. remember how they show whale sounds in nature documentries??
What are the three thing that sound can travel through?
Air,
How do sound waves travel trough matter?
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
Does sound travel through solid liquid or gas?
It travels through all three, but at different speeds.
Sound travels the slowest through which of these?
The speed of sound in a material is dependent on several factors. Basically it travels through denser materials at a different rate than rarefied materials, through compressible materials at a different rate than incompressible materials, and through stiffer materials at a different rate than nonrigid materials. A slower velocity of sound would be noted in a dense, compressible nonrigid material.
Do sound waves travel through solids or liquids or gases or all three?
yes it does
Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
What three types of materials affect the behavior of light?
The type of light, the distance it has to travel and the substance that it passes through.
The speed of sound, like all waves, depends on the ____ through which it travels?
Sound travels at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through. Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.

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.
