Gases have the least amount of molecules and they are spread farther apart so it takes a longer time for the sound energy to travel from molecule to molecule.

Does sound go through solids quicker than liquids or gases?

Yes, sound travels faster through solids compared to liquids and gases because the molecules in solids are closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more easily. In liquids and gases, the molecules are more spread out, which leads to a slower transmission of sound.


What can a medium travel thru?

Nothing (say a vacuum). The medium is what the sound travels through.


How long does it take for sound to travel a mile on the moon?

Since the moon has little to no atmosphere, sound cannot move as it has no medium to travel thru.


How do you differentiate light waves from sound waves?

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium to propagate, whereas sound waves are mechanical vibrations that need a medium, such as air or water, to travel. Light waves travel at the speed of light in a straight line, while sound waves travel through a medium by causing particles to vibrate in a wave pattern.


Sound waves from a radio generally travel in what medium?

Sound waves from a radio typically travel through the air as it is a medium that allows for the propagation of sound waves. Sound waves are generated by the radio transmitter and then travel through the air as vibrations in the form of pressure waves to reach the receiver.


Does sound travel thru walls?

Yes, sound can travel through walls, but the level of sound transmission will vary depending on the density and thickness of the wall. Thicker and denser walls will block more sound compared to thinner and less dense walls. Soundproofing materials can be used to reduce sound transmission through walls.


How does sound travel in water?

The mechanical vibrations that can be interpreted as sound can travel through all forms of matter: gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas. However, sound cannot propagate through vacuum. The matter that supports the sound is called the medium. The liqid can be water. There the speed of sound is faster than in air. How does sound in air differ from sound in water? http://www.dosits.org/science/ssea/3.htm


What do you know about the speed of the 2 waves in the vacuum?

In a vacuum, electromagnetic waves (such as light) travel at a speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 186,282 miles per second). This speed is known as the speed of light and is the fastest speed at which energy, information, and matter can travel in the universe.


How does glocose travel from the digestive system to the cells?

thru the blood


How did the first people travel to the American?

Thru the Nebulon galaxy


Why are fish and submarines alike?

They have the same shape and travel thru the same elements.


How is sound produce in liquid?

vibrations caused by the sound waves travel thru the water making the water vibrate causing sound. that is why you cant hear someone talk under water at great distances. the water is denser than the sound waves
