Can sound travel through solids and liquids?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums including solids and liquids. However, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.
Why secondary waves cannot travel trough liquids?
It's not so much whether they are primary or secondary; the waves that can't travel through liquids, or gases for that matter, are transverse waves.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What is a material that light cannot travel through?
light can travel through anything. Light here means electromagnetic radiation, not just visible light. Visible light cannot go through anything opaque, such as metal sheets. Other types of electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays, can pass through almost anything. If you want the name ofa material where no EM radiation can pass through, it's thick lead sheet.
What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
Seismic waves that cannot travel through liquids?
Shear Waves (S Waves) cannot travel through liquid
Can sound travel through solids and liquids?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums including solids and liquids. However, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
A body wave that cannot travel through liquids is?
S wave
Why can't you squash a liquid?
Due to electromagnetic forces and chemical bonds liquids cannot be compressed except by freezing, chemical change, or fusion.
What can s waves not travel through?
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
Can s waves move thought soilds?
Yes, but they cannot be detected through liquids.
Exept where can secondary waves travel?
secondary waves cannot travel through liquids
Is a medium necessary for a wave to travel?
No not really. Sound waves are mechanical waves. They require a medium for propagation. On the other hand, Light waves are electromagnetic and do not require a medium. Hence you cannot hear in space. AND light waves reach the earth from the sun through space- which is a vacuum!!
Why can't secondary waves travel through liquids or gases?
S waves can only pass through solids. They cannot pass through liquids (e.g. water, molten rock).
What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
What articles cannot be sent into state through the us mail?
chain letters, liquids, obscene materials...
