Can sound travel through ground?

hi, sound does travel through ground. the speed at which sounds travels depends on the medium. the denser the medium, the slower it travels and stiffer the medium, the faster it travels.


Why is cottonwool good insulator of sound?

Cotton wool is a good insulator of sound because it is lightweight, porous, and fibrous, which allow it to trap and absorb sound waves effectively. This helps to reduce the vibrations of sound as it passes through the material, thereby reducing the amount of noise that can pass through.


Why is cork and cotton are good soundproof materials?

Cork and cotton are good soundproof materials because they are dense and have unique physical structures that help absorb sound waves and reduce vibrations. Cork has a cellular structure that traps sound waves and reduces their ability to travel through it. Cotton, when densely packed or layered, can also absorb sound waves effectively due to its fibrous nature.


What is the best sound insulator out of cardboard cotton wool and bubble wrap?

Bubble wrap is the best sound insulator out of cardboard, cotton wool, and bubble wrap. It is lightweight and has air pockets that help to absorb sound vibrations effectively. Additionally, bubble wrap is durable and can be easily applied to different surfaces for soundproofing purposes.


Can sound waves travel through different materials such as Styrofoam metal wood wool and plastic?

Sound waves can travel through different materials such as the ones listed here. However, their speed is what sets them apart. When sound travels through water, for example, it will travel faster than it does in the air. This is because the water molecules are placed closer together than air molecules, and can transfer sound waves more quickly. As a rule, sound travels slowest through gases, slightly faster through liquids, and fastest of all through solids. As with all science, there are exceptions to all rules. For example, some solids do not allow sound to pass through them at all. They are soundproof.

How fast does sound travel through cotton wool then air?

Sound travels faster through air than through cotton wool. In air, sound travels at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second, while in cotton wool it would travel at a slower speed due to the material's denser and more absorbent nature.


Is cotton wool a conductor of electricity or an insulator?

Cotton wool is not a conductor or an insulator it is a semi conductor. It is sort of in the middle, electrons can travel through cotton wool but not as good as silver, bronze, metal and so on.


Can a gas go through cotton wool?

Yes, gas can pass quite easily through cotton wool.


Why does cotton wool absorb sound?

Believe it or not wool is a solid. Its fibers vibrate when sound approaches it therefor the vibrations are used up and there is less sound coming out from the other end of the wool fiber. (I'm Not Sure If Its Al Right But I Do Know that wool does absorb sound and It Can Be Used In Ear Defenders Or Ear Muffs To Cancel Out Noise).


What would you use to make an ear defender?

if i made ear defenders i would : Use foam because - it will absorb the sound Use rubber because - it has a lot of air bubbles in it. Sound takes a long time to travel through gases like air . Also some of the sound may reflect off the rubber. airpoo Vacuums, because sound travels best through air and there would be no air to travel through. And use cotton wool. : )
