Sound can travel through anything, except vacuum. Sound is the vibration of molecules, passing the vibration on to other molecules. As long as there's molecules, the sound can travel through it. However, the sound will slowly fade because every time a molecule gives the energy to another, a little energy is lost. And therefore, the more molecules you have, the more the energy will fade before passing through, and the weaker the sound will become. Eventually, the sound will be reduced to nothing. That happens in everything, but in some media it happens faster than in others.

Does sound travel quicker through air or water?

Sound travels faster through water than through air because water is denser and provides more molecules for sound waves to travel through, leading to a faster transmission of sound.


Why does sound travel quicker through iron then copper?

Sound travels through a medium by vibrations of the molecules in the medium .The denser the medium the easier the sound propagates.Iron has higher density than copper and therefore it travels quicker through iron than copper.


Will sound travel faster through Aluminium or glass?

Sound travels faster through aluminum than glass because aluminum has a higher speed of sound due to its higher stiffness and density compared to glass.


Why does sound travel quicker through stell than air?

Stell doesn't seem to be a word. Please clarify.


Can sound travel through solids and liquids?

Yes, sound can travel through solids and liquids. In solids, sound travels faster because the particles are closer together, allowing for quicker transmission of vibrations. In liquids, sound travels at a slower speed compared to solids, but still more efficiently than in gases.


How long would it for a sound impulse to travel through an aluminum rod 25 kilometers long?

The speed of sound in aluminum is approximately 6420 m/s. Using the formula time = distance/speed, it would take approximately 3.89 seconds for a sound impulse to travel through a 25 km long aluminum rod.

How long would it take for a sound impulse to travel through an aluminum rod 1500 meters long?

Depends on the relative density of the Aluminum, the frequency of the sound impulse, the decibel level of the sound impulse, and lastly the temperature of the Aluminum.Lastly, Who has an Aluminum rod 1500 meters long?


How fast does a sound wave travel through a solid?

Sound waves travel faster through solids than through liquids or gases, with speeds ranging from around 2 to 15 km/s depending on the material. The speed of sound in a solid is determined by the material's elasticity and density.


How does density of an object relate to the speed which sound travels through it?

The density of an object affects the speed of sound through it as denser materials allow sound waves to travel faster. This is because denser materials have particles closer together, allowing for quicker propagation of sound waves through the medium. Conversely, less dense materials will have a lower speed of sound due to the greater distance sound waves need to travel between particles.
