Is there anything that solids can pass through but liquids cant?

Solids can pass through filters with small pores sizes that liquids cannot pass through due to their larger molecular size and inability to flow freely through tight spaces. This property is used in various separation processes such as filtration.


What substances can sound waves pass through?

Sound waves can pass through solids, liquids, and gases. The speed and efficiency of sound transmission can vary between different substances, with solids generally transmitting sound waves more effectively than liquids or gases.


Can light pass through solids liquids and gases?

Yes, light can pass through transparent solids, liquids, and gases because their molecules are arranged in a way that allows light to travel through. However, the extent to which light can pass through each substance varies depending on its density and chemical composition. Opacity, color, and other factors also play a role in determining how much light can pass through a material.


Can you hear through solids?

Solids will transmit sound waves, some better than others. Therefore you can hear through some, though it depends on the material and thickness.


Can solids liquids and gases all can act as mediums for waves?

Yes, solids, liquids, and gases can all act as mediums for waves. The speed at which waves propagate through these mediums depends on their properties, such as density and elasticity. Solids typically transmit waves faster than liquids, which in turn transmit waves faster than gases.

Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?

Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.


What state of matter does sound energy pass through?

Sound can pass through any state of matter.


Can filtering separate dissolved solids from liquids?

Yes,filtration can be used to separate solids from liquids because if you filter a mixture of solids and liquids the liquid will pass through the filter paper while the solids will stay because its particles are too big


What type of earthquake wave can go through solids and liquids?

P-waves can pass through liquids,solids,and gases. A P-wave is a type of body wave that has an up and down motion. Another type of body wave is the S-wave. S-waves CAN'T pass through liquids but they can pass through solids and gases. I hope that answered your question. =)

What travels on through solids?

Sound waves can travel through solids by causing particles to vibrate and pass energy along. This transmission is more efficient in solids than in liquids or gases because the particles in solids are closely packed.


What materials will sound travel through?

Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.


Will a primary wave travel through liquid?

Yes. Primary waves are compression or longitudinal waves can pass through solids, liquids and gasses.


Can sound travel though soild?

Sound is vibrations, therefore sound can pass through most solids, liquids, and gases.


What term do you call a porous medium which allows only the liquid to pass through it?

A medium that allows only liquids to pass through it is called an "impermeable medium." This means that it restricts the flow of gases or solids while enabling the movement of liquids.
