Sound is a mechanical wave. It requires a medium for propagation. Since the particles in a solid are close together, the sound energy is propagated way faster in solids rather than liquids and gases whose particles are not as close.
Yes, sound can travel through oxygen. Sound waves are able to travel through any medium that has molecules, including gases like oxygen. However, sound travels faster through solids and liquids compared to gases.
The speed of sound is determined by what it travels through. It travels faster through dense mediums, such as liquids, and doesn't travel at all in space, because there are no molecules to move sound waves along.
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
Velocity increases when sound waves travel from gas medium to solid medium. As velocity = frequency * wave length and the frequency does not change, v is directly proportional to the wave length... Hence the wavelength increases.
i dont know i was gunna ask this!!
Yes, it does. This is because the particles in a solid are closer together than in a gas, and the sound can therefore move more easily from one particle to the next, making the sound travel faster.
Waves travel faster through denser materials. However, Electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense materials. It travels fastest in vacuum.
Much faster in a solid
Sound will travel fastest through a solid because the molecules in a solid are closer together, allowing for faster transmission of sound waves. Liquids and gases have molecules that are more spread out, hindering the speed at which sound can travel through them.
Sound waves travel faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the particles in a solid are closer together, allowing the sound waves to travel more efficiently through the denser medium.
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
Solid
Sound travels faster through solids. It does this because sound is generated mainly due to the mediums molecule vibration in a pattern. In solids, the molecules are more closely packed when compared to gases. Hence, the vibration occurs faster and hence the sound is tramsmitted sooner
Gases particles move through and faster than the particles in a solid
