Sound travels by causing molecules in the material to vibrate parallel to the direction of motion. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

Through what medium do sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel through a medium such as air, water, or solid materials.


What can sound not travel to?

Sound cannot travel through vacuum, as it requires a medium such as air, water, or solid materials to propagate. Sound waves need molecules to transmit the vibration, so in the absence of a medium, such as in space, sound cannot travel.


Which one of the following environments will sound not travel tthrough?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum environment because it requires a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials, to propagate.


What are the materials needed for this project Does sound travel best through solid liquid or gas?

i think you need a solid liquid and gas first to do this project


What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?

Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, where sound cannot travel as it requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate. Light can also travel through transparent materials like glass or air, while sound is mostly blocked or absorbed by these materials.


Can sound travel easily through a vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.


Can sound travel through cotton wool?

Yes, sound can travel through cotton wool, but it will be dampened or muffled due to the fibers absorbing and dispersing the sound waves. Cotton wool is not a good conductor of sound compared to air or solid materials.


Dose sound travel fastset through solid?

Sound travels faster through solids and other materials because it has more mass to vibrate, compared to air.


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.


What materials transmit sound easily?

Solid


Which is faster for viberating sound travel solid or liquid or gas or vacuum?

Sound travels fastest in solids because the particles are close together, allowing for quicker transfer of energy through vibrations. In liquids, sound travels slower than in solids but faster than in gases due to the density of the medium. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium to propagate.


Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?

sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
