Why do sound travels through solid?

All that is required for sound to travel is the presence of atoms. One atom bumps into the next, transfers its kinetic energy, and thus the sound is transmitted. Solid matter is made up of atoms, ergo, sound can pass through it.

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.


Sound travels the blank through a solid?

Sound travels the best through a solid. Since the molecules in a solid are closer together than in a gas or liquid the sound waves don't have to travel as far to reach the next molecule.


In which medium does the sound travel the fastest?

sound travels the fastest through a solid perferably dimond.


Why does sound travel best through a solid?

the matter inside is bunched together so sound travels best through a solid.


Where does sound travels through?

Sound travels through a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. In solids, sound waves travel the fastest, followed by liquids, and then gases. In space, where there is no medium, sound cannot travel.


How does sound travel through solid objects?

Sound travels through solid objects via vibrations. When an object is struck or a sound is produced, it causes the particles in the solid to vibrate, transmitting the sound energy as a wave through the material. The speed of sound in a solid is determined by the material's density and elasticity.


Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?

Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.


Air is a medium through which sound travels What are the other mediums?

Sound can travels through liquid such as water and solid such as rock and ground. Put your ear on the floor and hear the people step for the proof of sound travel through solid.


Which the materials sound travels fastest?

Sound travels fastest through solid materials because the particles are tightly packed, allowing the vibrations to pass quickly through the medium. Examples of solid materials where sound travels fastest include metals like steel and iron.


Can sound trave through solid?

Yes, but sound travels slower through solids than air.


What are the different mediums through which sound travels?

Air, water, solid.


Does sound travels faster or slower through a solid than through air?

Faster.
