Sound absorbers and sound insulators serve different purposes: sound absorbers reduce the amount of sound energy reflected in a room, while sound insulators reduce sound transmission between spaces. They can complement each other for effective sound control in a space, with absorbers used to improve acoustics within a room and insulators used to block sound transfer between rooms. Ultimately, the effectiveness of each depends on the specific goals and requirements of the space.

Do semi conductors permit flow of electricity better than insulators?
Yes, semiconductors allow the flow of electricity better than insulators, but not as well as conductors. Semiconductors have conductivity values between those of conductors and insulators, making them useful for controlling the flow of electric current in electronic devices.
What is an object that conducts electricity better than insulators but not as well as conductors?
Semiconductors are materials that conduct electricity better than insulators but not as well as conductors. They have properties that allow them to be used in electronic devices to control the flow of electrical currents.
Is popsicle sticks good insulators?
Popsicle sticks are not effective insulators because they are poor at reducing heat transfer. Insulators are materials that prevent the flow of heat, and popsicle sticks do not provide a significant barrier to heat transfer due to their low thermal resistance. Materials like foam or fiberglass are better insulators than popsicle sticks.
Is gas or a vacuum a better insulator?
A vacuum is a better insulator than gas because there are no particles in a vacuum to transfer heat through conduction or convection. Gas molecules can transfer heat through conduction and convection, making them less effective as insulators compared to a vacuum.
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound travels better through a string because the particles in a solid are more closely packed and can transmit vibrations more efficiently than in air. In air, the particles are more spread out, leading to greater energy loss and lower transmission of sound.
Do semi conductors permit flow of electricity better than insulators?
Yes, semiconductors allow the flow of electricity better than insulators, but not as well as conductors. Semiconductors have conductivity values between those of conductors and insulators, making them useful for controlling the flow of electric current in electronic devices.

Why is brick a better condutor of heat than air?
Because they act as insulators because of their thickness therefore are better conductors of heat :)
Is metal a better conducter than plastic?
Plastic, wood and paper are insulators and very poor conductors of electricity.
Is the string a better carrier of sound than air?
Yes, solids transmit sound better than gases because their molecules are closer together.
Is popsicle sticks good insulators?
Popsicle sticks are not effective insulators because they are poor at reducing heat transfer. Insulators are materials that prevent the flow of heat, and popsicle sticks do not provide a significant barrier to heat transfer due to their low thermal resistance. Materials like foam or fiberglass are better insulators than popsicle sticks.
Is wood a better insulator than glass?
No. Wood has more air in it than glass, and air is pretty much accepted to be one of the best insulators ever.
Do sound waves travels better?
Better than what? - It isn't clear what you are comparing with what.
Is a diamond conductor?
Diamond is an excellent thermal conductor, conducting heat about five times better than copper. Diamonds are electrical insulators.
What does it mean when nonmetals are better insulators than conductors?
Nonmetals have higher electrical resistance compared to metals, making them better insulators. This means that they are less likely to allow the flow of electricity through them. Nonmetals have fewer free electrons that can carry electrical charge, which hinders their ability to conduct electricity.
Why are diamonds a better conductor than copper?
Diamonds are not better conductors than copper. In fact, diamonds are insulators and do not conduct electricity well due to their tightly bonded carbon atoms. Copper, on the other hand, is an excellent conductor of electricity because its electrons are relatively free to move around.
Is sound better than no sound at all?
yes it is because you'd hate to be deaf. :D
