An insulator prevents the transmittance of energy across a medium. Sound, through the molecules in air, can transmit sound energy across distance. Since air can conduct sound, it is not an insulator.

Is air a conduction?

Air is a good conductor of sound, and a poor conductor of heat and electric current.


Which is best conductor of sound?

music


What needed for a sound to be heard?

A conductor of sound (e.g. - air, water). Also, a receiver of sound (e.g. - an ear)


What is the best conductor of sound?

The best conductor of sound is generally considered to be solid materials, particularly metals like aluminum and steel. These materials have high density, stiffness, and speed of sound propagation, allowing them to transmit sound efficiently. Sound travels fastest through solids compared to liquids and gases.


What is the best conductor of electricity between air water wood and glass?

water is the best conductor of electricity, compare to air the atoms in water is more closely to each other and that makes water more conductive than air, glass can be conductor it depends on it composition but not as good as water and wood is not a conductor unless it's wet.


Is a rock a conductor or insulator of sound?

Is air a conductor or?

Conductor


Is rock a good conductor of sound?

Probably. It depends on the crystal structure of the dominant mineral. A pourous rock, such as honeycomb rock in Jamaica, will not be a good conductor of sound. A dense rock, like granite, will conduct sound better.


Which is a better conductor of sound air or metal?

sound is better traveled in air. the waves travel further because of no barriers how ever if you try and put it through metal it will get particially or completely bounced back to the source (depending on how thick the metal is!)


What is faster sound or electricity?

Electricity is faster than sound. The speed of electricity through a conductor is close to the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound through air.


Is air a good conductor of electricity?

Oh, dude, air conducting electricity? That's like asking if a goldfish can drive a car. Technically, air can conduct electricity, but it's not exactly winning any awards for being a top-notch conductor. So, yeah, it can happen, but it's not like air is out there conducting electricity like it's its full-time job.


What is the correct descending order for the media through which sound travels with the most efficient conductor of sound listed first?

Solid (such as metal) Liquid (such as water) Gas (such as air)
