Can sound travel through ground?
hi, sound does travel through ground. the speed at which sounds travels depends on the medium. the denser the medium, the slower it travels and stiffer the medium, the faster it travels.
Why does speed of sound depend on the temperature of a medium through which sound waves travel?
Speed of sound increases with the increase in temperature of the medium .In fact the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of absolute temp. of the medium.
Why can't sound travel through a medium?
It Can it needs a medium to travel
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
Why does a sound wave travel through a medium?
waves are easily travel in medium.....
Do light waves travel towards or away when travelling through a slower medium?
towards the normal
Does sound travel more slowly through a given medium with a low temperature or high temperature?
Sound travels more slowly through a medium when it is at a low temperature because in a low temperature the molecules move slower and in a high temperature the molecules move faster. For Example: ice that is frozen and boiled water in ice the water doesn't move as fast so the molecules were slower than in the boiled water. HOPE I HELPED YOU!!
What is the effect of medium on sound travel?
The thicker and denser the medium, the slower sound will travel through it. The density of the medium matters because the denser the substance is, the more material the sound has to vibrate per inch it travels through the substance. This forces it to slow down.

What temperature does sound travel faster in?
That depends on the nature of the medium through which it is traveling and how that medium's density is affected (if it is affected at all) by its change in temperature. The denser the medium, the faster sound travels through it. For example, in a sealed chamber containing a gas, the speed of sound is not affected by temperature unless it gets cold enough for the gas to condense to a liquid. As long as it remains a gas, changes in temparature only affect its pressure, not its density.
Is speed of light in vacuum and medium same?
No, light in a medium will travel at a slower speed.
When the temperature wave that travel through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate?
B. at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Nope, sounds doesn't travel faster on space because a medium is needed a region to another
Why does sound move more rapidly -or slowly- through one medium than another?
Generally, the density of the transfer medium and its temperature determines the rate of transfer of sound energy. The more dense the medium and the higher its temperature, the faster sound will travel through it.

Speed of sound increases with the increase in temperature of the medium .In fact the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of absolute temp. of the medium.
Does light have a medium to travel through?
No, apart from "spacetime". But it CAN travel through a medium such as air or glass.
Why can't sound travel through a medium?
It Can it needs a medium to travel
