What state of matter transmits sound fastest?
Sound travels further and faster in the more dense states of matter. Solids transmit sound faster than liquids or gases.
What are three ways in which thermal energy is transferred?
1.by conduction through dense matter.(solids) 2.by convection through less dense matter (liquids/gas) 3.by radiation through vacuum
What happens to the speed of sound waves when it travels through different mediums?
In general, sound will travel faster through a medium that's more dense, and slower through one that's less dense.
Through which medium sound travells the most and why?
if by "most" you mean the fastest...the more dense the material the faster sound can propagate. The closer molecules are together the faster the "message" can be sent down the line. Although sound travels very fast in air, gases are not dense at all. Sound would travel faster in water than air, and faster in glass than water. I am unsure what the fastest material would be, perhaps a metal that is very dense.
In which of the following material does sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels faster in denser objects. And iridium and osmium are the densest elements found on earth.answ2. But the speed of sound in a simple solid depends upon its 'elasticity' and its density. Beryllium has a c of around 13 km/s, but is far from the most dense metal.And in general, the speed of sound in a metal is roughly five times that of sound in air; and the speed in a liquid is about three times that of air; but both vary widely.
What does the medium through which sound travels affect?
Sound travels the fastest through dense materials, since sound is simply the transfer of kinetic energy between matter. Thus a more dense object creates faster sound waves.
The medium through which sound waves travel affects the what?
Sound travels the fastest through dense materials, since sound is simply the transfer of kinetic energy between matter. Thus a more dense object creates faster sound waves.
What state of matter transmits sound fastest?
Sound travels further and faster in the more dense states of matter. Solids transmit sound faster than liquids or gases.
Do sound waves travel faster in water or in cooking oil?
I would say the water is quicker Sound travels fastest through more dense materials. Oil is more is less dense than water, meaning that sound travels faster through water than oil.
Waves travel quicker through solid gases?
Waves travel faster through denser materials. However, Electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense materials. It travels fastest in vacuum.
Why does sound travel slowest through gas than trough other forms of matter?
Sound travels slower through less dense matter because sound is the result of molecules hitting each other. When there are fewer molecules for the vibrating molecules to bump into, sound travels slower.
When does sound travel the fastest?
Through hot dense solids.
Does sound travelling through a very dense object cause time to slow down for it?
Sound travels faster through dense objects.
Sound travels faster in what?
Atoms move fastest in gases, then liquids, then solids. Also, atoms move faster in higher temperatures than in lower temperatures.
Sound travels fastest in?
Sound travels fastest in dense solids(steel, diamond, etc.). Since the particles of dense solids are very close to each other, the transfer of sound energy from one particle to another is much easier.
How do density and temperature effect the speed of sound?
The sound travels faster through a dense medium. Colder temperatures are generally more dense, thus sound travels faster at a lower temperature.
What is the fasted speed sound can travel through?
Your question needs to be defined more clearly, do you mean through which medium does sound travel the fastest? If so, in general the more dense the medium is the faster the sound wave travels; sound travels through Air (a gas) slower than through water (a liquid) because the sound is transmitted by the molecules colliding therefore the more dense the medium the easier the force is transmitted in a direction. It is also for this reason why sound can not travel through a vacuum (there are no particles in a vacuum to transmit the sound wave)
