When would sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels fastest in a solid because the particles are closely packed meaning the particles can pass the sound wave on without any gaps in between. It travels through a gas the slowest as the particles are spaced out meaning they only occasionally bump into each other to pass on the sound wave.
What state of matter does sound energy pass through?
Sound can pass through any state of matter.
What kinds of matter can sound travel through?
Sound waves (depending on length and initial decible level) can pass through any matter. In fact, it has been through the use of sound waves that we determined the core of our planet is mostly super hot-liquid iron!
Does sound travel faster through molecules that are far apart?
No. Sound waves travel fastest through mediums that have tighter or more densely packed molecules. Longitudinal waves need a conductor (i.e. molecule) to transmit sound. The closer the molecules are, the faster a sound wave is able to pass from one to another. Therefore, sound travels fastest through solid mediums (densely packed molecules), then liquids (less densely packed), then gases (least densely packed).
Can light pass through an iron ore?
no.
What material does light pass through fastest?
Light is however the most fastest thing. But it has been concluded that it travells the fastest in vacuum.
Why sound does not pass through the glass?
There is no "why". Sound passes through glass quite easily.
Which soil will water pass through fastest?
sand
Can electric current pass through iron oxide?
no.
Can sound pass through a closed car?
no
Would sound travel faster through an iron or a body of water?
Speed of sounds depends on the type of medium and temperature of the medium . As we know that sound travels fastest in solid medium than any other medium, sound would probably travel faster through an iron than the body of water. the molecules in water are farther apart while in a solid body they are very closely packed. When a sound wave hits a solid body the molecules vibrate and transfer the vibrations of the wave to the next molecule. in this way the sound wave doesn't need to travel that much a distance and can easily travel faster in a solid body. while in a liquid the molecules are farther apart and the wave has to cover a more large distance to be transmitted through the liquid. so in this way the sound has more speed through solid (iron) than liquid (water). The exact speed of sound in iron is 5130 meters per second.. Whereas, the speed of sound in water at 25 degree Celsius is 1493 meters per second. However, the speed of sound in all solids are not faster than in all liquids.
Can ultrasonic wave pass through 1Cm thick iron plate?
Yes. Ultrasonic waves can pass through metal. The only difference between "normal" sound waves and ultrasonic waves is that we cannot hear ultrasonic waves. However, they behave the same.
