The medium through which sound waves travel affects the what?
Sound travels the fastest through dense materials, since sound is simply the transfer of kinetic energy between matter. Thus a more dense object creates faster sound waves.
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.
The fastest waves from an earthquake also called push waves are what?
seismic waves
What type of ocean wave moves the fastest?
Indian Ocean waves.
Is collecting sound the same as captureing sound waves?
Sound waves are what make up sound (sound waves=sound) so I would suppose so.
Do sound waves trave their fastest in solids?
Yes. Sound waves travel fastest through solids.
States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
What type of mediam carries sound the fastest Examples?
Electromagnetic waves are the medium that carries sound the fastest. Examples include the radio waves.
Sound waves travel fastest in what?
solids
Does light waves or sound waves travle faster?
Light travels much, much faster than sound. Light travels at 299792458 m/s while sound only goes 340.29 m/s.
Why cant sound waves go to outer space?
not as far because they have nothing to travle throough like on earth (air)
What Mediums do sound waves travel the fastest?
air
What medium do sound waves travel fastest in?
solids
In what medium does sound travel fastest - solid -liquid - or gas?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.
What is the fastest way to send information using sound waves light waves or water waves?
Light waves
Does sound waves travel fastest through air?
it goes fastest through metal
What phase of matter does sound travel fastest in?
Waves/vacuum
