Velocity of sound depends on?
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
What solids can sound travel through?
All solids.
Does sound vibrates better through air or solids?
Solids.
Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?
Yes, and faster through solids than liquids.
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.
Will a seismic wave travelling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave travelling through liquid?
The velocity of seismic waves is controlled by the density and elastic properties of the material through which they travel. Solids tend to have larger elastic modulii than fluids. As the speed of a seismic wave increases as the elastic modulii increase, this means that they tend to travel faster through solids.

Why does radiation usually transfer through a gas more easily than through solids or liquids?
Gas is much less dense than liquids or solids, which means that it has fewer particles (the particles generally being atoms or molecules) per unit volume, than there are in the denser materials. Hence, if something is travelling through a gas it is not going to hit as many particles a it would if it were travelling through a liquid or solid. And any time a photon hits another particle, it may be absorbed, or reflected, or defelcted in some manner by that particle.
Why does sound moves fastest in solids then liquids then gas?
Sound is a result of the vibration of the particles of the medium through which it is travelling. The more closely packed the particles are, the faster they bump against the particles next to them.
What solids can sound travel through?
All solids.
Can gas go through solids?
A gas cannot go through non-porous solids.
What gas can go through solids?
A gas cannot go through non-porous solids.
Does sound vibrates better through air or solids?
Solids.
Do solids appear when 2 salts mix?
Yes, a mixture is obtained.
What is the process to separate solids and fluids called?
One way to separate solids and fluids is through filtration. Pour the mixture through a filter and the solids will be trapped in the filter.
Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
How does the speed of light change as light goes through different materials?
It slows down when travelling through materials whose refractive index (optical density, NOT physical density) is high. Gases generally have low refractive indices but with liquids and solids, there it depends on the substance.
