What else can I help you with?
Since sound is a mechanical wave sound needs a what to travel through?
Sound needs a medium to travel through. This medium can be air, water, or a solid material like metal. Sound waves transfer energy by vibrating particles in the medium they are traveling through.
How does heat affect sound?
Heat can affect the speed of sound by changing the density of the medium through which the sound is traveling. Generally, in warmer temperatures, the speed of sound increases as the molecules in the medium have more energy and can vibrate faster. This can result in sound waves traveling faster in warmer air than in colder air.
Sound will NOT travel through?
Sound needs a matter based medium, so it will not travel through vacuum.
How do sound wave particles travel through a medium to transmit sound?
Sound wave particles travel through a medium by vibrating back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling. This vibration causes neighboring particles in the medium to also vibrate, passing the sound energy along.
All sound is caused by what?
All sound is caused by vibrations in the particles of its medium (solid, liquid, or gas).
Since sound is a mechanical wave sound needs a what to travel through?
Sound needs a medium to travel through. This medium can be air, water, or a solid material like metal. Sound waves transfer energy by vibrating particles in the medium they are traveling through.
Which would be the least effective medium for traveling sound waves?
The least effective medium for traveling sound waves would be a vacuum, as sound requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit the vibrational energy of sound waves, rendering sound transmission impossible. Therefore, sound cannot travel at all in a vacuum, making it the least effective medium for sound propagation.
Why is the speed of sound slower then the speed of light?
The sound needs a medium to be transported. Without that medium (vacuum) there is no sound. The sound is blocked by air mulecules. The light does not need a medium.

What is mechaincal energy?
The form of energy that needs a medium to travel is known as mechanical energy.For example sound needs a medium to travel,that's why sound can't travel in vacuum,light needs no medium to travel it is non mechanical form of energy.
How do sound wave particles travel through a medium to transmit sound?
Sound wave particles travel through a medium by vibrating back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling. This vibration causes neighboring particles in the medium to also vibrate, passing the sound energy along.
What waves needs a medium to travel through?
Sound Wave
What energy change occurs when sound is produced?
When sound is produced, there is a conversion of mechanical energy from the source (such as vocal cords vibrating or an instrument being played) into sound energy in the form of pressure waves in the air. This process involves the transfer of kinetic energy between the particles in the medium through which the sound travels.
All sound is caused by what?
All sound is caused by vibrations in the particles of its medium (solid, liquid, or gas).
Where does sound not propagate?
sound needs a material medium to travel. Sound can travel by compression and rarefactions.attma
Can sound enter into a solid or a liquid or a gas?
Yes, it can. In fact, for sound to move through anything, it has to "enter" it. Sound is mechanical energy, and this mechanical energy is transferred into the medium through which the sound is traveling. The medium itself supports the transfer of the (mechanical) energy of sound.
