How does sound travel through materials?
sound travels through materials through molecules as we talk through our vocal box the molecule present in the air material start to vibrate it is because the material contain air as they vibrate we hear sound
What is the kind of material through which light passes easily?
transparent materials
What is it called when light goes through materials?
The material is said to be translucent.
What does translucent material do?
Translucent materials allows light to pass through it. Windows is a translucent material because it allows light to pass through it
What material does not allow light to pass through it?
Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them.
What materials is a translucent?
A translucent material is a material which light can pass through.
What do we call the materials that refracts light?
Refraction is caused when light changes the medium that it is moving through. Therefore any material that is transparent to light will diffract it.
Water moves easily through what material?
permeable materials

What is the difference between opaque and transparent material?
Such materials through which you can see are called transparent materials. As for example-glass. Such materials through which you cannot see are called opaque materials. As for example- wood

A material that only lets some light through?
There are many materials that light can not travel through which are called opaque objects.
Sound travels the slowest through which of these?
The speed of sound in a material is dependent on several factors. Basically it travels through denser materials at a different rate than rarefied materials, through compressible materials at a different rate than incompressible materials, and through stiffer materials at a different rate than nonrigid materials. A slower velocity of sound would be noted in a dense, compressible nonrigid material.
