How sound can pass through liquid?

Sound can pass through liquid by creating pressure waves that travel through the liquid molecules. These pressure waves cause the molecules to vibrate, transmitting the sound energy. The speed at which sound travels through liquid is faster than through gases but slower than through solids.


Do sound waves travel faster threw liquid or solid?

Sound waves generally travel faster through solids than through liquids. This is because the particles in solids are closer together, allowing for more efficient transmission of seismic waves. In liquids, the particles are more spread out, leading to slower sound wave propagation.


Sound travels faster in solids or liquids?

Sound travels faster in a medium that that has no or less interference. In other words we can say that it will travel faster in solid practically thinking that sound is echoced by the solid objects better than the liquid medium and as a result the sound waves travel with faster velocity and travel greater distance.


Will sound travel fastest through a liquid solid or gas?

Sound will travel fastest through a solid because the molecules in a solid are closer together, allowing for faster transmission of sound waves. Liquids and gases have molecules that are more spread out, hindering the speed at which sound can travel through them.


Do sound waves travel faster through wood or water?

Yes i guess sound waves travel faster through wood than in water. Because molecules are tightly packed in wood(solid) than in water(liquid).

Can Sound waves travel through gas liquid and solids.?

Yes, yes, and yes. Sound can travel through any compressible medium. The denser the medium, the faster sound will travel.

In what medium does sound travel fastest - solid -liquid - or gas?

Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.


Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas and how?

Solid. Because it's more dense.


Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?

Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.

Does sound or light travel faster through water?

Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
