Electro-magnetic waves of many kinds travel through certain solids and liquids: radio waves (these are waves of relatively low frequency/high wavelength) can travel through almost anything. Microwaves - shorter wavelength, higher frequency - need particular materials to stop them. Gamma rays (a form of radioactivity) can pass through many solids, and need a very thick layer of a dense metal such as LEAD to stop them. Visible light, which is also a form of electro-magnetic radiation - can (obviously) travel through some liquids and solids; those which are to some extent transparent.
Sound waves - which are pressure waves - can also travel through solids and liquids.
Generally, the answer to the question varies according to which solids and liquids are being considered; and each of these will permit a different range of waves to pass through them.
What else can I help you with?
What can s waves not travel through?
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
Can sound travel through solids and liquids?
Yes, sound can travel through solids and liquids. In solids, sound travels faster because the particles are closer together, allowing for quicker transmission of vibrations. In liquids, sound travels at a slower speed compared to solids, but still more efficiently than in gases.
Does air travel through solids liquids and gases?
Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.
How Sounds travel through solids liquids and gas?
sound is made up of vibrations, and so you hear sound as the vibrations travel through the particles of solids liquids and gases.
What waves travel through solids but not liquids?
seismic waves
Waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
sound
Does a p wave travel through liquids and solids?
Yes
Can a p wave travel through gas?
Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.
Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
What are the mediums that waves can travel through?
Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.
What waves travel through solids liquids and gases?
Seismic waves, including P-waves and S-waves, can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are produced by earthquakes and other sources of vibrations and provide valuable information about the interior of the Earth.
Through what are things can sound waves travel?
Sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
