What material does sound travel through quickly air cork iron or water?

Sound travels fastest through solids, so it would travel most quickly through iron. Then through water, followed by cork, and finally air.


Did sound travel better through metal railing or through air if a metal rod is hit against it?

Sound would travel better through the metal railing because metal is a better conductor of sound than air. When the metal rod hits the railing, the vibrations are quickly transmitted through the metal and carry the sound along with it.


Would sound waves traveling through the outer ear travel faster or slower than those traveling through the inner ear?

Sound waves would travel faster through the outer ear than through the inner ear. This is because the outer ear consists of less dense air, which allows sound waves to travel more quickly. In contrast, the inner ear is filled with fluid, which is denser and slows down the speed at which sound waves travel.


If a cymbal were struck in space, how do you predict the waves of sound would travel?

Since space is a vacuum, sound waves do not travel through space. Sound waves need a substance to travel through, since there is nothing in a vacuum, sound waves have nothing to travel through. Thus, a cymbal struck in space would not make an audible sound.


Can sound waves produced by sonar be diverted in air?

No, sound waves produced by sonar are designed to travel through water, not air. Sonar waves are specifically tuned to travel efficiently in water due to its density and properties. In air, the waves would not travel effectively and would disperse quickly.


Sound travels fastest in which medium and why?

Sound travels fastest in solids because the particles in a solid are more tightly packed, allowing sound waves to move more quickly through them than in liquids or gases where particles are more spread out.


Can sound travel through a vaccum?

Sound is basically the vibration of atoms or molecules of a solid, liquid, or gas that propgate throughout the medium. Sound MUST have a medium to travel through; if there were no medium there to vibrate in, it would have no frequency and therefore would not be able to be heard. Since a vacuum is a space devoid of all matter, there would be no medium for the sound waves to propgate in, so therefore, no sound.


What would sound travel LEAST efficiently in?

Sound would travel least efficiently in a vacuum because there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through. Sound waves rely on a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.


What is the medium sound from a stereo would travel through?

air!


States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?

Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.


Would sound travel faster through water or through air?

sound travels faster through water than air.


How can sound travel through phones?

Sounds can travel by phones because,say if you lived in Scotland and wanted to phone someone that lived in germany (That would to travel through the atlantic ocean)the sound would have to travel through sound waves,which is why phoning abroad is so expensive these days but also what helps is lines running through the bay of the ocean
