Sound pressure goes e.g. through thin paper. Loudness is a problematic word in this case. Feelings are different from person to person. So don't talk of "measuring" the "loudness". You can really measure the sound pressure (amplitude) with a sound pressure level meter. Microphones and eardrums are only sensitive to the sound pressure.

Witch objects does sound travel through?

Sound can travel through most substances but the loudness depends on the substance.


Consider a material in a solid form that is heated to a very high temperature what phases does the material go through?

When the material reaches its melting point, whatever that may be for the given material, it will go through fusion (will change from solid state to liquid state). Once the material reaches its boiling point it will go through evaporation (will change from liquid state to a gaseous state).


Explain sound production in the human voice box and pitch loudness and quality of sound production in the another?

In the human voice box (larynx), sound is produced when air from the lungs passes through the vocal cords, causing them to vibrate. The pitch, loudness, and quality of the sound produced can be controlled by adjusting the tension in the vocal cords and the force of air passing through them. In musical instruments, such as a guitar, pitch is determined by the length and tension of the strings, loudness by the force with which the strings are struck or plucked, and quality by the shape and material of the instrument's body and strings.

Does loudness of the sound effect its speed?

No, the loudness of a sound does not affect its speed. The speed of sound is determined by the properties of the medium through which it is traveling, such as air or water. The loudness of a sound is related to its amplitude or intensity.


If I import a mattress, does it have to go through customs?

No, imported mattresses do not have to go through customs because they are not considered a hazardous material.


Can gases go through any piece of materials?

No, gases cannot go through every material. The ability of a gas to pass through a material depends on the size of the gas molecules and the structure of the material. For example, gases can pass through porous materials like membranes, but not through solid barriers like metals.


Can light go through opeak?

Yes, light can pass through an opaque material if it is transparent or translucent. However, if the material is completely opaque, light will not be able to pass through it.

What loudness or softness of a sound is its?

The loudness or softness of a sound is its amplitude, which is the measure of the maximum displacement of a vibrating material from its resting position. A larger amplitude produces a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude results in a softer sound.
