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.

Is sound louder or softer in a solid or water?

Sound is softer in water than in a solid. This is because the density of water is thicker, which hinders the velocity of sound.


Why does a bigger balloon pop louder?

A bigger balloon contains more air, resulting in a larger volume of gas being released when it pops. This larger volume of gas creates a louder sound wave, leading to a louder pop.


How does amplification affect sound?

Amplification increases the strength or power of a sound signal, making it louder without changing its fundamental characteristics. This process allows the sound to be heard over longer distances or in louder environments. However, excessive amplification can introduce distortion and affect the quality of the sound.


Does sound travel faster through a solid luquid or gas?

Solid


What happens to the sound as the amplitude of the sound wave increases?

Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".


What are the three media of sound?

The three media of sound are solid liquid and gas.


Which two properties of a sound gets louder?

The two properties of a sound that get louder are its amplitude, which determines the volume or intensity of the sound, and its energy level, which increases as the sound becomes louder.


Does the sound on a tuning fork get louder if you hit it harder?

It does get louder! It increases the amplitude of the sound wave


Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?

Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.


How does sound travel in solid liqiud and gas?

As pressure waves.


What is the correct descending order for the media through which sound travels with the most efficient conductor of sound listed first?

Solid (such as metal) Liquid (such as water) Gas (such as air)


What happens when sound gets louder?

It means that the amplitude of the soundwaves is increased, or is increasing if the sound continues to get louder.
