Sound conduction through air is dependent on temperature and the strength of the sound, but sound can travel extremely far in the air. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa volcano (Level 6 on the Volcanic Scale. The eruption was equivalent to a 200 megaton blast, or 13,000 times that of the Hiroshima bomb, and 4 times that of the largest nuclear device ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, at 50 megatons. The eruption was heard over 3,000 miles away.

Do sound waves travel best through air?

Surprisingly no. Air is a gas which means that the molecules are far apart. Even a liquid is better that air for sound to travel through because the molecules are closer together. But, a solid is the best for a sound to travel through. This is because the molecules are very close together so the vibration is transferred much quicker though the material.


How many ways does sound travel?

Sound can travel through air, liquids like water, and solids like walls and floors. Sound waves can also travel through gases, such as carbon dioxide and helium. In a vacuum, however, such as outer space, sound cannot travel because there are no molecules to carry the sound waves.


Sound can travel through what?

nothingA sound wave is a mechanical wave that can travel through any gasses, liquids, or solids. sound waves can not travel in outer space because there is nothing for the wave to travel through.Sound is vibration. Thus, it travels through anything that has mass. While it can travel through the air, the travel time and the clarity get better and better as the object gets denser and denser. Seeing as space has no mass, sound cannot travel in space.


How far did sound travel to your ear?

As far as the object is that produced thesound!


How far can a 3kHz travel?

A 3kHz sound wave can travel a considerable distance, potentially several kilometers in air and even further in water. The distance it can travel depends on factors such as the medium it is traveling through, environmental conditions, and the strength of the sound source.

How far will a sonar pulse travel in 45 seconds?

It will depend on the speed of sound in the medium. Sonar is often used for underwater location and the speed of sound through water is quite different from the speed of sound through air.

If you're referring to outer space, then sound does not travel at all.

Will sound travel in a solid?

Indeed, sound waves will travel through a solid. Consider that you may overhear folk talking in the adjacent room. Sound is a vibration of air molecules, and these, when meeting a wall, will set the wall to move a (very) little. The wall in moving, will cause the air on the far side to vibrate in turn.
