∙ 13y agoSound travels more slowly through a medium when it is at a low temperature because in a low temperature the molecules move slower and in a high temperature the molecules move faster. For Example: ice that is frozen and boiled water in ice the water doesn't move as fast so the molecules were slower than in the boiled water. HOPE I HELPED YOU!!

∙ 14y agoSound travels faster through dense material. This is because molecules in a dense(solid) medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas(thin), allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it.
well sound actually always needs a medium so it can travel, in space there's is no sound because there isn't a medium it can travel through. but just about anything is a medium for sound. air is also a great medium, that's why were able to hear one another
That depends on the nature of the medium through which it is traveling and how that medium's density is affected (if it is affected at all) by its change in temperature. The denser the medium, the faster sound travels through it. For example, in a sealed chamber containing a gas, the speed of sound is not affected by temperature unless it gets cold enough for the gas to condense to a liquid. As long as it remains a gas, changes in temparature only affect its pressure, not its density.

A deshawn wave!
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
Sound travels slower through a medium at low temperatures because the particles in the medium have lower energy and move more slowly, causing sound waves to propagate more slowly. This reduction in particle movement decreases the speed at which sound can travel through the medium.
Generally, the density of the transfer medium and its temperature determines the rate of transfer of sound energy. The more dense the medium and the higher its temperature, the faster sound will travel through it.
B. at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Sound can travel faster through space because space is a vacuum where there are no particles to slow down the transmission of sound waves. In a room at room temperature, sound travels through the molecules of the medium, such as air, which can slow down its speed.
No, apart from "spacetime". But it CAN travel through a medium such as air or glass.
No, radio waves do not need a medium to travel through. They are a type of electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum, such as space. They can also travel through other mediums, such as air or water.
The speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the medium. This relationship exists because higher temperatures lead to faster molecular motion, resulting in an increase in the speed at which sound waves can travel through the medium.
False. Waves do not carry the medium with them as they travel through it. Instead, they transfer energy through the medium without permanently displacing the particles of the medium.
Mechanical waves need a medium substance to travel through. Electromagnetic do not.
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space without a medium.
They travel through a material medium.
Sound energy can travel through solids more slowly than through liquids and gases. This is because the particles in solids are more closely packed, causing sound waves to propagate at a slower speed due to increased interaction between particles. Examples of materials that sound energy can travel through slowly include metals, wood, and concrete.
