Sound is a longitudinal wavelength that has wavelength, velocity, frequency and amplitude. It travels through solid objects by going through vibration.

Where can sound not exist?

Sound cannot exist in a vacuum, as it requires a medium (such as air, water, or solid objects) to travel through in the form of waves. Therefore, in space where there is no air or medium for sound to travel through, sound cannot exist.


Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?

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


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 objects block sound?

Yes, objects can block sound by absorbing, reflecting, or diffusing sound waves. Solid and dense objects are more effective at blocking sound compared to soft and porous materials. Sound may also travel around objects through diffraction or bounce off surfaces through reflection.


Can sound waves travel through solid objects?

Yes, sound waves can travel through solid objects. The only thing sound can't travel through is a vacuum.When any object moves back and forth (when it vibrates) it is pushing the air molecules next to it. As the air molecules get compressed and pushed into waves, the energy is transferred from molecule to molecule and eventually gets thinned out, or spread out. That is why sounds that are farther away are harder to hear, they are softer sounding because the energy originally released is fading away.

Sound waves travel only in the air?

No. They travel through water and solid objects also.


Witch objects does sound travel through?

What are the objects called that allow sound to travel through them?

Sound is a pressure wave. Objects that "allow" sound to travel through them could be called wave guides.

Can sound travel through oxygen?

Yes, sound can travel through oxygen. Sound waves are able to travel through any medium that has molecules, including gases like oxygen. However, sound travels faster through solids and liquids compared to gases.
