The speed of sound is slowest in what type of matter?
sound cannot travel through a vacum
Can sound travel through ground?
hi, sound does travel through ground. the speed at which sounds travels depends on the medium. the denser the medium, the slower it travels and stiffer the medium, the faster it travels.
How fast do sound waves travel through a vacuum?
You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air
What kind of material does sound travel through best?
Denser material, higher speed.
What is the speed of sound in concrete?
Between 3200 and 3600 m/s, the closer together the particles are in a substance are, the faster sound can travel through it. This is why these values are much higher than the 343 m/s, the speed of sound in air.
The speed of sound is slowest in what type of matter?

What speed does sound travel through iron?
5120 m/s
Can sound travel through ground?

How slow or fast can sound vibrations go?
It depends very much on the medium which the sound has to travel through. Sound will not travel through a vacuum at all. Sound will travel faster through materials that are more dense, so that the speed of sound through solids and liquids is faster than the speed of sound through gases. In Earth's atmosphere, the speed of sound is faster at sea level than the speed of sound at high altitude. Generally, the speed of sound through air at sea level and normal temperatures is about 340 metres per second, while the speed of sound through a steel bar is about 5000 metres per second. However, the speed of sound through solids can be two different discrete values, depending on the mode of vibration propagation - compression waves or slower shear waves.
Can sound travel through other kinds of material than air if so does it travel differently?
Sound can travel through all matter. The speed at which it travels depends on the density of the material.
How fast do sound waves travel through a vacuum?
You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.
What is the speed of sound through paper?
Sound waves need matter to travel through, and wood is matter, so yes, sound waves travel through wood. They travel through wood faster than they do through air, as wood is denser than air.
At what speed does sound travel through water?
Depending on the temperature and the salt content of the water the speed of sound through water is approximately 5,300 kph (3,300 mph)
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.
What is the name of speed of sound?
The speed of sound is a Mach. 1 Mach for a particular medium is the distance that sound would travel through that medium in 1 second.
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air
