What is the correct descending order for the media through which sound travels with the most efficient conductor of sound listed first?
Solid, liquid & air
Does light travel faster in diamond or water?
Light travels slower through denser media, so it travels faster through water than through a diamond.
What media does a transverse wave travel through?
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
Does light bend as it passes through materials?
Light is affected by the media that it travels through. Even air will bend light. Glass and water certainly bend light.
Does sound go faster through water or iron?
Sound travels faster in iron. Usually sound travels faster in media with higher density. Also presence of lattice makes difference too.

Solid, liquid & air
Are air and water examples of media through which sound travels?
Yes.
Does light travel faster in diamond or water?
Light travels slower through denser media, so it travels faster through water than through a diamond.
How is the speed of sound affected by medium it travels through?
Sound is affected by the media. It travels high speed in solids generally.
Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
A substance that a wave travels through is called a?
The material through which a wave travels is called a medium.
What is the effect of medium on the speed of sound?
Sound travels faster through denser media because their molecules are closer together.

How would you describe the behavior of light as it travels from the container to the air or as it travels in different media?
Light always takes the shortest path possible through any medium. As such, when it travels through a vacuum, it travels in a straight line (no refraction). When it travels through the air, the molecules in the air scatter it very slightly, causing some diffusion and refraction, depending on the composition of the air through which it passes. When it travels through water, the shortest path through that medium is not a straight, collinear line from the point of incidence...it is actually offset by a small angle (the angle of refraction). The bent path that light takes through water or another substance is actually the shortest path available to it through that medium.
What different media do earthquakes waves travel through?
hey travel through p waves and other ones too
