What is the best transmitter of sound?

The best transmitter of sound is typically considered to be air, as it is the medium through which sound waves travel most efficiently. Other media like water and solids can also transmit sound well, depending on the situation.


Why does sound travel faster in a soild?

Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies


Only sound energy travels in wavesTrue or false?

False. While sound energy does travel in waves, other forms of energy, such as light and water waves, also travel in wave patterns.


How does sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel though mediums. Solids , liquids , and gas . It also travels though transverse and longitudinal. Also travel through the air......


Summarize the physical reasons that sound waves travel at different speeds through liquids and gases?

Sound waves travel fastest through solids, then liquids and gases. This is because sound waves requires medium in order to travel. Solid's particles are very tightly packed with each other thus sound gets more medium to travel faster. Liquid particles are less close to each other and gas is the least. Temperature also increases the speed of sound. higher the temperature, higher the speed of sound.


Can sound travel around corner?

Sound certainly can travel around corners. Sound can also travel through hard surfaces like walls and bathroom surfaces as well.


What are disturbances that carry energy through matter?

These disturbances are known as "waves". Examples include compression waves in air or other media (i.e., sound), and electromagnetic waves, which can travel both through matter and through empty space.


What type of media can sound travel through?

Because waves, such as sound, need to travel through a medium, whether it be water, air, etc. Since in empty space, there is no air, therefore there is no medium to travel in, so sound cannot travel.Sound waves require a medium (solid, liquid or gas) to travel through. They do this by alternately compressing and rarifying the distanced between the atoms or molecules of the medium.


How are all sound produced?

Sound is produced when an object vibrates, creating a disturbance in the surrounding air molecules. These vibrations travel as waves through the air until they reach our ears, where they are converted into electrical signals that our brain interprets as sound. Sound can also travel through other mediums such as water or solids in a similar manner.


Does sound travel only in air?

yes, but also in viabrations.


Sound waves travel only in the air?

No. They travel through water and solid objects also.


what vcan travel with or without a medium?

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through a vacuum, or a space with no air, meaning it does not require a medium to travel through. Other forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, microwaves, and x-rays, can also travel through a vacuum. Sound, on the other hand, is a form of mechanical wave which requires a medium to travel. This medium can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and is the way sound travels from one place to another. For example, when someone speaks, the sound waves travel through the air and reach our ears. In summary, light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation can travel with or without a medium, while sound requires a medium to travel.
