Aluminum

∙ 6y agoSounds (and all vibrations) travel the most quickly in a medium where the atoms are tightly packed together. Therefore, solids carry the vibrations faster than liquids, which carry them faster than gases. Of the given materials, sound travels most rapidly in aluminum.

How does heat travel through metal?
the answer is that it travels by conduction. thank you.
What is a message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
The material through which a wave travels is called?
Medium
Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
What travels in waves even through space?
Electromagnetic Wave
How would you describe the behavior of light as it travels from the container to the air or as it travels in different media?
Light always takes the shortest path possible through any medium. As such, when it travels through a vacuum, it travels in a straight line (no refraction). When it travels through the air, the molecules in the air scatter it very slightly, causing some diffusion and refraction, depending on the composition of the air through which it passes. When it travels through water, the shortest path through that medium is not a straight, collinear line from the point of incidence...it is actually offset by a small angle (the angle of refraction). The bent path that light takes through water or another substance is actually the shortest path available to it through that medium.
How does a wireless network signal travel?
A wireless network signal travels through the use of radio waves. It is capable of travelling great distances in the open or shorter distances when penetrating walls and objects.
How well does sound travel through water?
Sound travels through water much better than it travels through air. In air, sound travels at about 330 m/sec (metres per second). In seawater it travels at about 1,490 m/s (better 1.49km/sec). Sound also travels much further through water than it does though air. This is the way humpback whales can communicate over very long distances with their singing.
Why does a beam of light become less bright as it travels?
Because it travels long distances and if you traveled long distances you would be tired so the light is absorbed by the surroundings
How does heat travel throughteach state of matter?
Heat travels through waves of insulation through metals and other materials. The only metals that heat does not travel through are aluminum and nickel.
Does electricity travel in the shortest or easiest path?
Electricity travels in the path of least resistance.
What state would you pass through if you traveled from Texas to California the shortest route?
The shortest route from Texas to California starts at El Paso, Texas and ends just north of Yuma, Arizona. Along the way, the path travels through two states, Arizona and New Mexico.

Can light travel through materials?
Yes, through some materials. It certainly travels through air, and you may have noticed that it travels through water and glass.Yes, through some materials.

Why AM cannot travel through buildings?
If you mean AM radio, it travels quite well through most buildings - but grounded metal will block it. Thus most steel (and aluminum) buildings will have poor reception.
