Why isn't pure copper used for bells instead of bronze?
The sound is the better and bronze looks better. It is much tougher and it can withstand rust.
What kind of surfaces reflect sound well?
We will find surfaces that are hard and flat to be the best reflectors of sound. To understand why, we need to review a couple of things about sound. Sound is mechanical energy. The source of the sound will put the sound (mechanical) energy into the medium through which that sound is going to travel. This causes some movement in the medium through which the sound is propagating. Surfaces that reflect sound best will not absorb the sound energy by moving. These surfaces will resist any movement and will thus not take any energy from the sound wave. This said, we'd expect a foam rubber wall will reflect far less sound energy than a concrete wall. Also, a wall that is flat will cause less scattering, which is a distributed redirection of the sound. A flat wall will allow sound to be reflected directly back toward the source (for sound arriving at a right angle to the wall). A wall that is made of cemented river stones, which are rounded, will scatter some of the sound energy and be less as good a reflector of that sound compared to a flat, smooth concrete wall.
Is sound louder in gas or solid?
You can hear a sound better in a liquid. This is because the molecules in a liquid are much closer together than the molecules in a gas, so vibrations travel much more easily through a liquid.
What is the sound of the sea?
a raoaring and thundering sound
Does sound travel faster in high pressure or low pressure?
Sound travels best when it's in something which is tight - consider the "telephone" using two cups and a piece of string. When you warm anything up, it becomes more "loose" as the molecules become excited. (Ice is hard until you melt it. Tar is pretty stiff unless you heat it up.) So it follows that sound would travel *better* in a cold environment. There would be better transmission of the wave from one molecule to the next, and the molecules would typically be closer together, so it would theoretically travel a little faster. However, if the medium is air, this also depends hugely on the air pressure. As the pressure decreases, the molecules become more sparse (less dense), and it's more difficult for an affected molecule to pass on the waveform. So sound at the top of Everest may not travel as quickly as sound in the middle of the desert, despite the obvious temperature difference.
Do Videotapes Sound Better?
YES. they only sound better if it was Hi-Fi
Why is light better than sound?
Better for what?
Which is a better for transporting sound waves air or water?
Water, the denser the substance, the better it is at carrying sound waves.
Can a car amplifier make any music sound better?
The point of a car amplifier is the make music sound better, so in most cases all amplifier make music sound better.
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
Can a better sound card boost PC performance?
A better sound card can increase performance in applications that support hardware accelerated sound, particularly in games.
What is advantage sound card?
Well for one, with a sound card you get to hear sound from your computer. But no really, with better or high end sound cards, you get clearer better sounding sounds from your PC. That's all there is to advantages from sound cards, You get sound...Lol.
Do poems sound better when they rhyme?
it sounds better with your heart
Does sound travel better through air or water?
Water- It is denser, and sound travels better through a denser substance.
Does the word better have a short e sound?
Yes, the "e" in the first syllable of "better" (that is, "bet") has a short "e" sound.
Do Vinyl records sound better when its high quality?
Yes vinyl records sound better when it is the high quality version
Does sound travels better through water than wood?
Sound travels better through wood than water
