the alternating areas of quickly moving high and low pressure
Sound travels through mediums in sound waves.
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
Sound travels at different speeds depending on the medium. Sound will travel the fastest through solids.
medium
Sound waves are mechanical energy, and mechanical energy moves through matter in areas of compression and in areas of decompression (or, perhaps, rarefaction). The areas of compression are often spoken of as crests, and troughs speak to the areas of decompression in the medium through which the sound is propagating. The trough of a sound wave is the decompressed or rarefied medium.
The speed of sound through the medium also increases.
the alternating areas of quickly moving high and low pressure
Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.
it allows sound to go through it
It depends on the medium.
Yes it is true, the state of a medium helps determine the speed of sound passing through the medium.
Sound travels through mediums in sound waves.
Yes, sound can change its medium.
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
Sound travels at different speeds depending on the medium. Sound will travel the fastest through solids.
