Vibration can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, such as metal or wood, vibrations travel quickly due to the close arrangement of particles. In liquids and gases, such as water or air, vibrations travel more slowly but can still propagate.

Call vibration that travel through the air?

Yes, we see that when some people sing on seeing a glass it breaks in to piece's so we can say that vibration travel through air


Why sound can not travel without air?

Sound is a vibration of some physical material. There has to be a physical material for sound to travel through, from place to place. It doesn't have to be air. Water and rock work fine.


Why do some waves travel in a vaccuum while others can travel only through a medium?

Electromagnetic waves, like light, can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. However, mechanical waves, like sound waves, need a medium, such as air or water, to transfer energy. This is because mechanical waves rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transmit the wave.


Why is it that light can travel to Earth from a distant star but sound cannot?

Light can travel through the vacuum of space because it is an electromagnetic wave that does not require a medium to propagate. Sound, on the other hand, is a mechanical wave that requires a medium, like air, water, or solids, to travel through. Since space is a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through from a distant star to Earth.


How do sound waves travel through differently through gas solid and liquid?

Sound is an energy wave, and as the wave hits the atoms or molecules of a medium (liquid, gas or solid) a very slight amount of the initial energy is expended at impact. This impact slams the atoms or molecules into others, spreading out the wave and eventually dissipating the energy originally produced.

What are the basic things that will be taught during vibration analysis training?

Some of the basic things that will be taught during the vibration analysis training include how to tune instruments or program computers / software to do a vibration analysis.


Does sound travel in waves?

Sound (and vibration) waves may only travel in some medium. Such as air, metal and so on. They cannot travel in a vacuum.


What waves sound waves travel in?

Why a sound is heard when water is flowing through a pipe?

Water flowing through the pipe creates some friction. That friction creates vibration, vibration = sound.


Why does sound travel faster through solids than it does through gases?

because there are more particles in a solid and they are all joined together and in a gas they are all spaced out so the sound goes through it and loses a bit of vibration and solids it gains vibrations from it and loses some From TheJonnyjj=D


Which is true heat can travel well through all materials or heat can travel well through some materials?

Some, but not all. Some materials are insulators- heat does not travel well through them.

Why does sound travel quicker through aluminum than air?

Sound can travel through anything, except vacuum. Sound is the vibration of molecules, passing the vibration on to other molecules. As long as there's molecules, the sound can travel through it. However, the sound will slowly fade because every time a molecule gives the energy to another, a little energy is lost. And therefore, the more molecules you have, the more the energy will fade before passing through, and the weaker the sound will become. Eventually, the sound will be reduced to nothing. That happens in everything, but in some media it happens faster than in others.
