What do Sound wave not travel?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
Why does sound travel fastest through a sold then a liquid and a gas?
That's because sound is a compression wave. It needs a medium to travel through. The best mediums are dense, like metal and concrete. Liquids are okay. Gasses are the worst. Sound will not travel in space because there's no medium for sound to travel through.
Where do sound wave travel the fastes?
Sound waves travel the fastest in solids, because the particles in a solid are close together and can transmit the vibration more efficiently. Liquids are the next fastest medium for sound to travel through, followed by gases, which have particles that are more spread out and therefore result in slower sound transmission.
What are the objects called that allow sound to travel through them?
Sound is a pressure wave. Objects that "allow" sound to travel through them could be called wave guides.
Does sound travel?
Yes, sound is a wave and it travels when there is a medium for it to travel through.
What type of waves travel through liquids fastest?
there is no specific wave they all travel faster through water but scientifically speaking sesmic waves do i belive also The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air. The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water. The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.
What is the fasted speed sound can travel through?
Your question needs to be defined more clearly, do you mean through which medium does sound travel the fastest? If so, in general the more dense the medium is the faster the sound wave travels; sound travels through Air (a gas) slower than through water (a liquid) because the sound is transmitted by the molecules colliding therefore the more dense the medium the easier the force is transmitted in a direction. It is also for this reason why sound can not travel through a vacuum (there are no particles in a vacuum to transmit the sound wave)
What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
What substance will a sound wave travel fastest through?
Sound waves travel fastest through solid materials because the particles are closely packed together, allowing for faster transmission of vibrations. In general, the denser the material, the faster the speed of sound.
Can a sound wave travel through air?
Yes.
Sound wave travel the fastest with what material?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids because the particles in a solid are closely packed together, allowing the vibrations to propagate quickly. In comparison, sound waves travel slower through liquids and even slower through gases because the particles in these states of matter are further apart, causing more resistance to the wave motion. Therefore, materials with higher density and stronger intermolecular forces, such as solids, allow sound waves to travel at their maximum speed.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
