Yes, the molecules are able to vibrate, thus relaying the sound vibrations through a solid mass. When we hear sounds through a wall we prove this concept. The sound vibrates the air outside the room then the wall and then the air inside the room and finally our eardrum which is also a solid.

What materials are able to transmit sound well?
Materials like metals, glass, and water are good at transmitting sound due to their ability to carry vibrations effectively. These materials have tightly packed particles that allow sound waves to travel through them with minimal loss of energy. Conversely, materials like foam or rubber tend to absorb sound rather than transmit it.
Does sound travel faster through molecules that are far apart?
No. Sound waves travel fastest through mediums that have tighter or more densely packed molecules. Longitudinal waves need a conductor (i.e. molecule) to transmit sound. The closer the molecules are, the faster a sound wave is able to pass from one to another. Therefore, sound travels fastest through solid mediums (densely packed molecules), then liquids (less densely packed), then gases (least densely packed).
What kind of material does sound not travel through?
Sound always need a medium to travel whther it be solid, liquid or gas. If we use several layers to build a shield, sound may not be able to penetrate. But it depends on the nature of the sound too. The audible sound which we can hear will not able to penetrate through several layered structures. But high frequency ultrasonic waves can penetrate even cement blocks.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of transverse and longitudianal waves?
Transverse waves have the advantage of being able to transmit energy without the need for a medium, while longitudinal waves require a medium to propagate. However, longitudinal waves can travel through liquids and gases, while transverse waves are usually limited to solid mediums.
What waves don't need medium to travel?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays, do not require a medium to travel. These waves are able to propagate through a vacuum. In contrast, mechanical waves, like sound waves, do require a medium, as they rely on the vibration and movement of particles in a substance to transmit energy.

How is sound heard through solids?
In solids the molecules are so tightly compacted that when it is hit be something the sound waves will travel through the solid object where if you put your ear up to the solid object you will be able to hear the hitting sound. Like all waves there is a limited distance the sound waves can travel, so you will only be able to hear the hitting sound if you are close enough to the point at which the hitting occured. Much like knocking on a table

How are light waves and sound waves similar?
Light waves and sound waves are both forms of energy that travel in waves. They can both be reflected, refracted, and diffracted. However, light waves can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to propagate.
What are examples of conductors in sound?
Examples of conductors in sound include materials like metals (e.g. copper, aluminum) and water. These materials are able to transmit sound waves efficiently due to their ability to carry vibrations. Conductors help to enhance the transfer of sound energy and amplify the overall quality of sound.
Why can you hear your teacher through a closed door?
You can hear a teacher through a closed door of a classroom because the sound waves diffract or bend around corners. (Sound waves don't always travel in a straight line) Answered by: Nur _ _ _ _ _ _ Izyani
Would astronauts be able to hear an explosion on the moon?
No, astronauts would not be able to hear an explosion on the moon because there is no atmosphere to transmit sound waves. Sound requires a medium like air to travel through, and since the moon is airless, there would be no way for sound to propagate and reach the astronauts' ears.
Can turbines be driven with soundwaves if so how?
Yes, sound waves with very high frequencies can be able to drive the sound waves.
How can sound be heard behind a closed door?
Sound waves are able to travel through solid objects, such as doors, through a process called transmission. When sound waves strike the surface of the door, they cause vibrations which are then transmitted through the material and can be heard on the other side of the door. The door does not need to be completely airtight for sound to pass through it.
