Light generally doesn't travel faster through solids than through gases. Sound does, but not light.
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
...the composition of the Earth.
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
Primary waves can travel through liquid and solids at certain speeds but some quakes can not travel through water.
No because Primary wave will inconsult the water
Gasses, solids and liquids :P
Longitudinal (also know as compression) waves travel more slowly through gasses than solids.
Anything with mass; solids, liquids, gasses.
Sound waves are an excellent example
Yes. Primary waves are compression or longitudinal waves can pass through solids, liquids and gasses.
sound moves through solids quickly because the molecules in a solid are closer together than in liquids or gasses and sound is just molecules bumping into each other. this allows the molecules to bump into each other faster and you hear the sound faster because of this. :)
Sound waves travel slower through gases than through solids. This is because gases have lower density and stiffness compared to solids, which affects the speed of sound waves traveling through them.
Mechanical waves can travel through mediums such as solid, liquid, and gas. They cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a physical medium for propagation.
It may seem awkward, but sound actually travels faster through solids than gasses, especially dense solids.
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
A sound wave can travel mor quickly in water than in air
P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gasses.
