Both light and sound can indeed travel through glass. These are substances in which light and sound often travel through.

What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?

Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, where sound cannot travel as it requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate. Light can also travel through transparent materials like glass or air, while sound is mostly blocked or absorbed by these materials.


What carries sound and light?

Sound is carried through air or other mediums that allow for the propagation of vibrations. Light is carried through electromagnetic waves that travel through a vacuum or a medium such as air, water, or glass.


Can sound travel through glass and how can you tell?

Yes, sound can travel through glass. You can tell by tapping on the glass and listening for the sound vibrations to pass through it. Sound waves can propagate through the material, but the speed and transmission of sound may vary depending on the type and thickness of the glass.


What is 4 ways light waves can travel?

Light waves can travel can travel in different ways depending on the object. It can travel through a vacuum which is a complete airless place, mirror, but sound has to travel through a solid or gas.


What do you call the traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound?

That is called optical fiber communication, where light is used to transmit data through long glass fibers, often for telecommunications purposes. The process involves converting sound waves into light pulses that travel through the fibers and then converting them back into sound at the other end.

Why does sound travel through glass?

The denser the medium, the faster sound travels through it. Glass (silicon oxide) is fairly dense, and sound waves propagate through it faster than they do through air or water.

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.
