While neither are particularly good for allowing sound through the aluminium would likely allow it through better being a lighter, less tightly packed, metal.
Sound waves travel faster through iron than air because iron is a denser medium with particles that are closer together. This allows the sound waves to propagate more quickly through the material compared to air, which has less dense particles that are farther apart, creating more resistance and slowing down the speed of sound.
Sound travels faster through iron than through air because iron is a denser medium with particles packed closely together. This allows sound waves to propagate more efficiently through the material compared to the less dense and more spread out particles in air. In iron, the vibration of particles is quickly passed along due to the tight molecular structure, resulting in a faster speed of sound.
Sound travels faster in iron. Usually sound travels faster in media with higher density. Also presence of lattice makes difference too.
Sound travels via particle-to-particle vibrations around a mean position; this means that the more particles there are, the better the sound travels. Therefore, sound travels faster through iron than through water or air. Sound travels through iron roughly 15 times faster than through air. The more dense the solid, the better the sound transfer. Sound will travel the fastest in solids since the molecules are more tightly packed together, allowing sound to travel through the medium faster. Then comes liquids, then gases. Sound travels fastest on earth because there is no sound in space! since there's no medium in space for sound to travel through.
Sound travels through a medium by vibrations of the molecules in the medium .The denser the medium the easier the sound propagates.Iron has higher density than copper and therefore it travels quicker through iron than copper.
The speed of sound is affected by 3 properties: Elasticity and Density of the medium through which the sound waves travel, and the temperature of the medium. Media with higher elasticity, like iron, for instance, transmit sound faster. (Elasticity is the ability of a substance to return to its original shape after being deformed by a force applied to it. Rubber has high elasticity, too.)
well, this is my theory, excuse me if i am not at all correct, but i believe the answer is; Aluminium + Iron Oxide ---> Aluminium Oxide + Iron + heat i really do hope this is correct, please except my apologies if it is not.
I believe that sound travels faster through iron because it bounces off the sides, and causes it to travel faster, reaching the other side.
Speed of sounds depends on the type of medium and temperature of the medium . As we know that sound travels fastest in solid medium than any other medium, sound would probably travel faster through an iron than the body of water. the molecules in water are farther apart while in a solid body they are very closely packed. When a sound wave hits a solid body the molecules vibrate and transfer the vibrations of the wave to the next molecule. in this way the sound wave doesn't need to travel that much a distance and can easily travel faster in a solid body. while in a liquid the molecules are farther apart and the wave has to cover a more large distance to be transmitted through the liquid. so in this way the sound has more speed through solid (iron) than liquid (water). The exact speed of sound in iron is 5130 meters per second.. Whereas, the speed of sound in water at 25 degree Celsius is 1493 meters per second. However, the speed of sound in all solids are not faster than in all liquids.
Aluminium is paramagnetic, iron is ferromagnetic Aluminium has a low density, iron is more dense Aluminium is not corroded in water, iron is easily corroded The hardness of aluminium is lower The price of aluminium is greater The melting point of iron is significantly greater The thermal and electrical conductivity of aluminium are more important Iron has a greater chemical reactivity ................................................................... etc.
Iron is heavier than aluminium. Aluminium is easier to form, shape and machine.
