Sound would travel most quickly through?
metals
Sound cannot travel through what?
As sound is a mechanical wave (unlike light, an electromagnetic wave), it requires a medium in which to travel, therefore, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Through which medium will sound travel most quickly?
when solids are packed tightly/closely together sound waves travel faster
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.
Why don't we hear the sound explode on the sun?
Sound waves require something to travel through like air or water. The waves travel through this substance and into your ear, vibrating the eardrum. In the vacuum of space, there simply isn't enough of anything for the sound waves to travel through.
What substance can sound waves travel through?
Any substance!
Sound would travel most quickly through?
metals
Witch objects does sound travel through?
Sound can travel through most substances but the loudness depends on the substance.
What can sounds not travel through?
Since sound is a mechanical wave (it needs a substance to travel through) it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Does sound travel more quickly through cloth or water?
water!
Does sound travel more quickly through a liquid or a solid?
A liquid
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
Does sound travel better through air or water?
Water- It is denser, and sound travels better through a denser substance.
Does sound need to travel through material?
