When sound is produced, it causes the particles of the solid material to vibrate with an energy. It causes the surrounding particles to vibrate as well, transferring the energy. That's the way sound energy is transferred through a solid.

Does sound pass through vacuum?

No, sound cannot pass through a vacuum because sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to travel through. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so they cannot travel.


HOW TO PASS THROUGH SOLIDS?

it is physically impossible to pass through a solid objectansw2. But heat may pas through a solid, as may sound waves.


Why cant sound pass through a vacuum?

Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or a solid material. In a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to propagate, so sound cannot travel through it.


Why do sound travels through solid?

All that is required for sound to travel is the presence of atoms. One atom bumps into the next, transfers its kinetic energy, and thus the sound is transmitted. Solid matter is made up of atoms, ergo, sound can pass through it.


Can you hear through glass?

Yes, sound can pass through glass, but the glass may decrease the volume or alter the quality of the sound. This is because glass is a solid material that can transmit vibrations, allowing sound waves to pass through it.


What medium can a sound wave pass through?

Sound waves can pass through mediums such as air, water, and solids, as they require a material medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum as there are no particles for the waves to vibrate and travel through.


Is sound energy that passes through a solid said to be absorbed?

If it passes through (i.e. you can hear it on the other side of the solid) then it hasn't been absorbed, but merely transferred from the source to the solid and back into the air. If the sound cannot be heard from the other side of the solid (i.e. it does not pass through) then it is said to have been absorbed.


What causes sound not to pass through milk?

It does; sound will be transmitted through any medium, be it solid, liquid or gas. The sound might be attenuated through long distances, but we don't generally have large volumes of milk in which to test.


Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?

sound travels faster through a solid than through air


What state of matter does sound energy pass through?

Sound can pass through any state of matter.


What transmits a sound through solid?

Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.


Which the materials sound travels fastest?

Sound travels fastest through solid materials because the particles are tightly packed, allowing the vibrations to pass quickly through the medium. Examples of solid materials where sound travels fastest include metals like steel and iron.
