If a cymbal were struck in space how do you predict the sound waves would travel?
PLATO USERS! They would not travel, because here is no medium present.
Sound travels fastest in which medium and why?
sound would travel faster in a solid because it is a denser object for the soundwaves to travel through
Sound would travel most quickly through?
metals
What material would sound travel faster air iron or water?
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
Which wave would travel fastest in a vacuum light or sound?
Sound cannot go through vaccum
If a cymbal were struck in space, how do you predict the waves of sound would travel?
Since space is a vacuum, sound waves do not travel through space. Sound waves need a substance to travel through, since there is nothing in a vacuum, sound waves have nothing to travel through. Thus, a cymbal struck in space would not make an audible sound.
Can one will b able to hear on earth if there is no gravity?
Yes, you would still be able to hear. Sound only needs a medium to travel through in order for it to be audible. Gravity is a force, not a medium. The atmosphere is the medium that you most frequently hear sound through. The more dense the medium, the more quickly the sound can travel and vice versa. For example, sound travels faster and more efficiently in water than it does in air.
What would not travel thruogh a room with no air is it sound or light?
sound
How is sound cannot travel in a wavy way?
Sound can't travel in wavy waves because if it did, the sound would be messed up and dodgy.
States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
If a cymbal were struck in space how do you predict the sound waves would travel?
PLATO USERS! They would not travel, because here is no medium present.
Can sound travel through a vaccum?
Sound is basically the vibration of atoms or molecules of a solid, liquid, or gas that propgate throughout the medium. Sound MUST have a medium to travel through; if there were no medium there to vibrate in, it would have no frequency and therefore would not be able to be heard. Since a vacuum is a space devoid of all matter, there would be no medium for the sound waves to propgate in, so therefore, no sound.
Why can't sound travel under water?
Sound does travel under water otherwise the Humpback would be wasting its time singing!
Does sound travel in the moons atmosphere?
Sound would travel in the moon's atmosphere if the moon had any atmosphere, but since it hasn't, it doesn't.
Sound travels fastest in which medium and why?
sound would travel faster in a solid because it is a denser object for the soundwaves to travel through
How would people travel at the speed of sound?
We can use ultrasonic planes. They can travel with that speed.
What if there was sound in space, how loud would it be?
As loud as sound would be normally.
