Fluids and solids. Air isn't specifically listed because it behaves like a fluid.

What two things does sound travel through?

Sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. It requires a medium to propagate, meaning it cannot travel through a vacuum.


Only sound energy travels in wavesTrue or false?

False. While sound energy does travel in waves, other forms of energy, such as light and water waves, also travel in wave patterns.


what vcan travel with or without a medium?

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through a vacuum, or a space with no air, meaning it does not require a medium to travel through. Other forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, microwaves, and x-rays, can also travel through a vacuum. Sound, on the other hand, is a form of mechanical wave which requires a medium to travel. This medium can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and is the way sound travels from one place to another. For example, when someone speaks, the sound waves travel through the air and reach our ears. In summary, light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation can travel with or without a medium, while sound requires a medium to travel.


How are light and sound similar?

Light and sound are both forms of energy that travel in waves. They can both be reflected, refracted, absorbed, and transmitted. Additionally, both light and sound play important roles in communication, allowing information to be transmitted over long distances.


What are some similarities and differences between the light and sound waves?

Similarities: Both light and sound waves are forms of energy that travel in waves. They can both be reflected, refracted, and diffracted. Differences: Light waves can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves require a medium to travel through. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate. Light waves travel much faster than sound waves.

Tell why sound which is a form of energy like light cannot travel at the speed of light?

Quite simply, the two things - being "a form of energy" and travelling at a speed of light - are completely unrelated. There are other forms of energy that don't travel at all, like potential energy.

What ultimately happens to the energy of sound in the air?

The energy of sound in the air is eventually dissipated and transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat, as the sound waves travel through the air and interact with various objects and surfaces.
