What else can I help you with?
What three things travel through the pharynx?
Air, food, and liquid travel through the pharynx.
What is the passageway for food and air?
The Oropharynx is the common passage for food and air. Liquid, food, and air all pass through this passage.
What can travel through the pharynx?
Air and food can both travel through the pharynx. It serves as a passage for air to reach the lungs through the trachea and for food to reach the esophagus on its way to the stomach.
Why can you hear sound better in air than under water?
cause its easier for sound waves to travel through air than through liquid
What medium the waves travel in?
Waves typically travel through a medium, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, sound waves travel through air or water, while seismic waves travel through the Earth's crust. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum as well as through certain materials like glass or air.
Can sound waves travel without a meduim?
No, sound waves require a medium to travel through. The medium could be a solid, liquid, or gas, but they cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no particles to transmit the vibrations that carry the sound.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.
Why can microwaves travel both in an empty space through air an food?
Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through empty space and air because they do not require a medium to propagate. When microwaves encounter food, they excite water molecules which creates heat through friction, allowing them to cook food efficiently.
Both food and air travel through what?
Both food and air travel through the digestive system. Food travels through the digestive system starting from the mouth, passing through the esophagus and stomach, and finally to the small and large intestines for absorption. Air travels through the respiratory system starting from the nose or mouth, passing through the trachea and bronchial tubes, and finally reaching the lungs for oxygen exchange.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
What is the difference of the transmission of sounds through air with ex transmission in solid liquid and vacuum?
Sound waves travel fastest through air because the molecules are spread out the most. They travel slowest through solid because the molecules are very tightly packed together. They do not travel through a vacuum at all.
Does air travel fastest in a liquid?
Yes. Air travels faster in liquid if you compare it to a solid. Air travels the fastest in gasses.
