What is the best transmitter of sound?

Matter. The denser the better.


Does sound vibrates better through air or solids?

Solids.


Is the string a better carrier of sound than air?

Yes, solids transmit sound better than gases because their molecules are closer together.


Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?

Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air


Do sound waves travel better through solids liquids of gas?

Sound waves travel fastest through solids as the molecules are tightly paced in solids. While in LIQUIDS and GASES molecules are far apart and there is a lesser chance of molecules striking one another.


What material does sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.


Can you hear through solids?

Solids will transmit sound waves, some better than others. Therefore you can hear through some, though it depends on the material and thickness.


What solids can sound travel through?

All solids.


Why solids transmit sound better than liquids and gases?

Solids transmit sound and vibration better than liquids and gases because solids' particles molecule's are stuck close together but gas' particles are far off wandering around while liquid's particles are not so close but closer than gas . The best sound/vibration creator is solids then liquids and last gases . Plus to put it in a way that any first grader would say is that a solid is hard so when you bang them together they make an astronomical sound . Its nothing really complex .


Is Sound listen greater in solids or in air?

Sound velocity is greatest in solids, and the solid with the highest velocity of sound is metallic Beryllium.


Do sound waves trave their fastest in solids?

Yes. Sound waves travel fastest through solids.


Does sound slow down in liquid?

On the contrary, sound travels better through liquid, even better through solids, we only think differently because we only hear normally through air.
