Sound travels by sound waves. Sound waves are vibrations of the gas particles which result in repeated squeezings/pullings away of the gas molecules. We usually say compressions and rarefactions. If you are in the presence of sound waves, they will enter your ears and make your eardrum move in and out very slightly. This movement is carried to the auditory nerve by tiny bones in your inner ear. The auditory nerves carry the tiny electrical impulses that the brain then deciphers as sound.
The most common example of sound traveling through a gas is always around us, and that 'gas' is air. (really a number of gases mixed together.)
This is why you cannot hear sounds in outer space . . . there IS no gas or anything else to carry sound waves.
What else can I help you with?
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
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.
Is it true that sound waves travel faster through air than through solids?
Through solids because the particles are closer than gas particles.
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
What must be present for sound to travel?
For sound to travel, three main components are required: a source of vibration, a medium through which the sound waves can travel (such as air, water, or a solid material), and a receiver to detect the sound waves (such as a human ear or a microphone). When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves that travel through the medium as a series of compressions and rarefactions, which are then detected by the receiver as sound.
Can Sound waves travel through gas liquid and solids.?
Yes, yes, and yes. Sound can travel through any compressible medium. The denser the medium, the faster sound will travel.
What sounds travel through gas?
Sounds travel through gas by creating pressure waves that propagate through the molecules of the gas. As the pressure waves travel through the gas, they compress and rarefy the molecules, transmitting the sound energy from one point to another. Examples of gases that sound can travel through include air, carbon dioxide, and helium.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
Does sound travel faster through a solid luquid or gas?
Solid
Does sound travel faster through a solid than a gas?
yes
Where does sound travels through?
Sound travels through a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. In solids, sound waves travel the fastest, followed by liquids, and then gases. In space, where there is no medium, sound cannot travel.
Does sound only traveled through gases?
No. Sound will travel through any sort of matter, gas, solid, or liquid.
Is a sound travel ina vacue?
No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound moves by vibrating particles of a solid, liquid, or a gas. Since there are no particles in a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it.
Which of the following sound not travel through?
Sound will not travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium which will allow vibrations.
Can sound travel through a balloon filled with hydrogen gas?
Yes, sound can travel through a balloon filled with hydrogen gas because the gas molecules can vibrate and transmit the sound waves. However, the speed of sound may be faster in hydrogen gas compared to air due to the lower density of hydrogen molecules.
How do sound waves travel trough matter?
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
