What objects are difficult for sound to travel through?
sound travels the fastest in solids and slower in liquids and even slower in gases and cannot travel in vacuum..so its most difficult for the sound to travel in gases
Why does sound travel slower through liquids?
It doesn't, sound travels slowest in air then faster in liquids then solids. Sound traveling through steel in many times faster then through air, for example. Sound travels through vibrations, and the vibrations pass through molecules until they reach your ear. If the molecules are far away it takes longer to pass the vibrations, but if they are closer together they will travel faster. Because the molecules are packed closer together in a liquid the sound travels faster through it, and even faster through solids.
Sound travels slowest through which matter?
The speed of sound depends greatly on the substance through which the sound waves travel. The speed of sound through air is faster than through other more dense gases such as carbon dioxide, but slower through lighter gases such as hydrogen. The speed of sound, only a little more than 1,000 feet per second through dry air, is almost a mile per second (amost five times faster) through water, two miles per second through copper, and more than three miles per second through steel.
How fast do sound waves travel through a vacuum?
You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.
How does sound travel through the three states of matter?
Sound needs a medium to travel through, which means there must be particles present for it to travel (it cannot travel in a vacuum). Sound is formed by a vibrating object, and the vibrations are passed along the particles until they reach your ear, where they make your eardrum vibrate etc. This works in solid, liquid, and gases, as there are particles in all of them to pass along the vibrations. It works fastest in solids, as the particles are closest together, so can pass the vibrations on quicker. In liquids, the particles are still close, but less tightly packed, so sound travels a little slower than in solids. In gases, the sound travels even slower than in liquids, as the particles are very spaced out, so it takes a while to pass on the vibrations. Hope that helped!

How do sound waves during a sonic boom compare with sound waves traveling at a slower speed?
wat does this even mean??

Does empty space make sound travel fastest?
Sound waves need a medium (such as air, water, metal and other materials) to travel through. Sound waves travel by slightly displacing the atoms from their original position as it moves. With empty space (no atoms) the sound waves cannot travel at all. In general, sound travels slower in gasses, then faster in liquids, and even faster in solids. Each substance is different, though.

Can sound travel through under water and how?
Sound is simply the vibration of matter so it exists under water, in rocks, and even in lava.
Why is it dangerous for a person if one of his veins is out?
Even though the blood loss rate through a vein is slower than through a cut artery, you can still bleed out and die through a cut vein.

When a tree falls can sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.
Does sound slow down in liquid?
On the contrary, sound travels better through liquid, even better through solids, we only think differently because we only hear normally through air.
What are 3 things that travel in waves even through space?
Radio, light, and sound.
Does sound waves travel through ice or rock?
it travels through rock quickest even if they are both solids eking
