sound waves travel through best through solids because they are more dense, then liquids, and finally they travel the worst through gasses.

What media can mechanical waves travel through?

Mechanical waves can travel through mediums such as solid, liquid, and gas. They cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a physical medium for propagation.


How does sound travel through solids liquids gasses?

In solids, sound travels through the vibration of molecules in a compressional wave. In liquids, sound also travels through compressional waves but with less resistance to movement compared to solids. In gases, sound travels through the propagation of pressure waves created by vibrating molecules.


Sound can travel through what?

nothingA sound wave is a mechanical wave that can travel through any gasses, liquids, or solids. sound waves can not travel in outer space because there is nothing for the wave to travel through.Sound is vibration. Thus, it travels through anything that has mass. While it can travel through the air, the travel time and the clarity get better and better as the object gets denser and denser. Seeing as space has no mass, sound cannot travel in space.


Through what are things can sound waves travel?

Sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.


Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?

Sound travels fastest through solids because the particles in solids are closer together and transmit vibrations more efficiently. In liquids, the particles are more spread out, so sound travels slower. Gas is the slowest medium for sound to travel through due to the large spaces between particles.

Why does sound travel differently in solids liquids and gasses?

Gases, liquids and solid all have different consistencies (densities). So the sound is changed


Why does sound travel fastest through a sold then a liquid and a gas?

That's because sound is a compression wave. It needs a medium to travel through. The best mediums are dense, like metal and concrete. Liquids are okay. Gasses are the worst. Sound will not travel in space because there's no medium for sound to travel through.


What do shear waves travel through?

Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
