Area in which sound waves are pushed together?
This question is misguided. It is not the sound waves which are apart, but the particles of the medium. A place where the particles are further apart is called a rarefaction. Where they are crowded together is called a compression.
Why does sound travel through iron faster than air?
Sound travels faster through iron because iron is more dense than air, which means the particles in iron are bunched closer together. When a sound occurs, the vibrations bounce against the particles and then all the particles bounce against each other until the sound eventually bounces into your ear. It takes a shorter time for sound to travel through iron because the sound can bounce from particle to particle more quickly as there is a smaller distance between each one, whereas it takes longer through air as the distance between each particle is much larger. That's why if you are in space and talk (without a space helmet or anything) you wouldn't hear anything because there are no particles for the sound vibrations to bounce against. Hope this was helpful! :)
Does sound have particles?
Yes sound does have particles.
Sound travels worst through what medium?
a solid because particles of a solid is not as put together.
Does sound travel faster in air in the summer or in the winter?
sound travels faster during the WINTER I learned this in science this is because during the winter sound particles are closer together making the sound travling faster during the summer the particles r more loose hopes this helps
Why does sound travel best through a solid?
the matter inside is bunched together so sound travels best through a solid.
Are air particles of sound far apart or close together?
high sound particles are near, and low sound as far apart particles.
What do particles do when sound is louder?
they stick together

Why does sound travel through water easily?
sound travels farther in water because the water particles are closer together.
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
Does sound have particles?
Yes sound does have particles.
Are there any short vowels in the word closet?
Yes, the "o" and "e" in the word "closet" are short vowels.
Does sound travel through water easily?
yes it does. the reason why is because the particles in water are closer together
Sound travels worst through what medium?
a solid because particles of a solid is not as put together.
