If sound travels faster through a solid why can't you hear through solids?
In fact, sound does travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in air. Also, we canhear through solids, but not very well. And it doesn't have anything to do with the speed of sound in the material. Let's look at what's going on.If sound originates in air on the other side of a wall, the sound must impinge on the wall to be transmitted through it. Some of the energy is reflected and some is absorbed, so that doesn't leave much to come through to where we might be listening. Also, you can hear better with an ear to the wall. But if the sound originates in the solid wall, you can hear it better, and can hear it very well with an ear pressed to the wall. This is because the solid will propagate it better (as well as faster) than it would travel in a liquid or in air.You might recall the old Indian trick of putting an ear to the rails to listen to find out if a train was coming. The sound is conducted in the solid rails (even with the spacing between sections) better than through the air. These people didn't know why this was so, but they knew that it was a fact.
How far does sound wave travel in miles?
If it doesn't hit something that absorbs it, or come to the end of the physical medium, a sound wave never stops. It just keeps going and going. But it spreads out as it goes, which means that any particular detector with a fixed size, such as an ear, receives less energy from a sound wave that originates farther away. So the real question is: What's the smallest intensity that your sound detector can detect ?
The direction of a gravitational field?
Gravity always points to the mass it originates from. (it is an attractive force)
What pulls you up?
Any force that originates above you does. It could be the tension in a bungee, in the harness of a parachute, etc.
The intensity of a sound wave?
Your ears and the sound pressure level meter like more the sound pressure of a sound wave.Note: Sound power (sound intensity) is the cause -and the sound pressure is the effect.The effect is of particular interest to the sound engineer.
Function of pinna or outer ear?
The pinna helps focus sound into the inner ear and determine the direction from which the sound originates.
Where does the word silence originate from?
The word "silence" originates from the Latin word "silentium," which means the absence of sound or noise.
Why does the thunder sound hollow?
Because it is lighting between clouds. Most of the sound originates at the same distance from you. So the frequency of the sound is nearly the same. Therefor you can hear the harmonics created by the small difference in frequency.
Is the sound from an electric guitar a sound or electromagnetic wave?
sound waves are all around us. the electric guitar will make/reflect sound waves just as it sits in the corner. sound waves is what sound is only that sound waves is the more scientific way of saying it.
Where does sound originate from?
Sound originates from vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid object. When an object vibrates, it causes the molecules in the surrounding medium to also vibrate, which creates sound waves that can be detected by our ears.
What is African drumming?
"What is a drumming sound?" A drumming sound is any sound that keeps a beat.
What instrument comes from the English word of sound?
The word "horn" originates from the Old English word "horn" meaning "sound, tone." The horn instrument produces sound by vibrating air inside the instrument and is commonly used in orchestras and jazz ensembles.
