Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.

Does sound travel faster through oxygen light water or metal?

metal since it is solid


Why does sound travel faster through materials such as water and metal than it does through air?

They are denser. Molecules are closer together. Vibrations move faster.


Which material does sound travel slowest through stone or metal?

Sound travels slower through stone compared to metal. This is because stone has a lower elasticity and density than metal, which causes the sound waves to propagate more slowly through it. Metal, with its high elasticity and density, allows sound waves to travel faster.


Through which medium will sound travel most quickly?

when solids are packed tightly/closely together sound waves travel faster


What does sound most slowly travel through a metal pole a wood block a pool of water or an area of cool air?

Cool air.


Does a ball travel faster from a wood or metal bat?

Discuss whether sound can travel through metal strings or not?

Yes, sound can travel through metal strings. When a string is plucked, it creates vibrations that travel through the metal material and produce sound waves. The density and tension of the metal strings affect the speed and quality of the sound produced.


What does mechanical waves travel fast in?

Mechanical waves travel fastest in solids, because the particles are closer together and can transmit energy more efficiently through vibrations. This is why sound waves travel faster through solids like metal than through liquids or gases.


Is the speed of sound affected by the medium which it travels through?

Yes. Sound travel faster through water than air n fastest through compact solid material like metal.


What can block microwaves from penetrating through objects?

Metal objects can block microwaves from penetrating through other objects.


Assume that colder water exerts less friction on immersed objects Would a metal ball travel faster through water at 55 or 15?

The metal ball would travel faster through water at 15 degrees Celsius, as colder water has lower friction compared to warmer water. This results in less resistance for the ball, allowing it to move more easily through the water at a higher speed.


Why AM cannot travel through buildings?

If you mean AM radio, it travels quite well through most buildings - but grounded metal will block it. Thus most steel (and aluminum) buildings will have poor reception.
