Yes, sound energy can propagate through gas ( that's the reason we can hear as sound energy travels through the ear to the human ear.)

What passes through a medium?

Waves, such as sound or light, can pass through a medium. The medium can be solid, liquid, or gas, and the particles in the medium vibrate or oscillate as the wave passes through. Energy and information can also pass through a medium in the form of waves.


How can energy pass through solid liquid gas?

moles


Why does a sound travels in solid liduid and gas but not in vaccum?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as solid, liquid, or gas, because they propagate by transferring energy from one particle to the next. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with and therefore they cannot propagate.


Is sound waves a gas?

no, it's a mechanism for transmitting sound. and sound isn't limited to gas either. It can pass through solids (you can listen through a wall or a door) and through liquids (you can still hear when your ears are submerged in a bath or a pool)


Can sound enter into a solid or a liquid or a gas?

Yes, it can. In fact, for sound to move through anything, it has to "enter" it. Sound is mechanical energy, and this mechanical energy is transferred into the medium through which the sound is traveling. The medium itself supports the transfer of the (mechanical) energy of sound.


What a intervening substance that allows energy to pass?

That depends A LOT on the type of energy. For example, light energy will pass through transparent substances, such as glass; electrical energy (in the form of a current) will pass through conductors, especially metals, etc.


Is sound a gas?

Sound is a kind of energy. It is the vibrational energy being propagated in the form of longitudinal waves. So sound is not a gas but it needs a gas or other medium to propagate in.


What energy change occurs when sound is produced?

When sound is produced, there is a conversion of mechanical energy from the source (such as vocal cords vibrating or an instrument being played) into sound energy in the form of pressure waves in the air. This process involves the transfer of kinetic energy between the particles in the medium through which the sound travels.


What medium can a sound wave pass through?

Sound waves can pass through mediums such as air, water, and solids, as they require a material medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum as there are no particles for the waves to vibrate and travel through.


Why gas is a good conductor of sound?

Gas is a good conductor of sound because its molecules are further apart compared to solid and liquid molecules, allowing sound waves to travel through with less interference. This means that the vibrations from sound can easily pass through the gas medium, making it an effective conductor of sound.


Why does sound travel slowly through gas?

Sound travels slowly through gas because the particles in a gas are further away then the particles in a solid or a liquid. This makes it take longer for the sound waves to travel through the particles in gases because it takes longer for them to collide with each other; this makes it take longer for the particles to pass on the sound vibration.


What causes sound not to pass through milk?

It does; sound will be transmitted through any medium, be it solid, liquid or gas. The sound might be attenuated through long distances, but we don't generally have large volumes of milk in which to test.
