Sound waves travel through any medium with the exception of vacuum. The denser the medium, the faster the sound waves travel, because the waves can be farther apart..

Where does sound travels through?

Sound travels through a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. In solids, sound waves travel the fastest, followed by liquids, and then gases. In space, where there is no medium, sound cannot travel.


How a medium affect sound?

Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.


Sound travels as a what?

Sound travels as a wave through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. The vibrations of particles in the medium create pressure changes that propagate as sound waves.


What is the scientific name for something a sound travels through?

The scientific name for the medium through which sound travels is "material" or "medium". Sound waves need a material medium to propagate, such as air, water, or solid objects.


What form does sound travel through a medium in?

Sound travels through a medium in the form of longitudinal waves, where particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is moving. This compression and rarefaction of the medium's particles transmit the sound energy from the source to our ears.


Does sound travel?

Yes, sound is a wave and it travels when there is a medium for it to travel through.


Why does sound travel quicker through iron then copper?

Sound travels through a medium by vibrations of the molecules in the medium .The denser the medium the easier the sound propagates.Iron has higher density than copper and therefore it travels quicker through iron than copper.


What happens when sound travels?

When sound travels, it creates vibrations in the medium it is passing through, such as air, water, or a solid material. These vibrations cause the particles in the medium to move back and forth, transferring the energy of the sound wave. As the sound wave continues to move through the medium, the particles vibrate and transfer the sound energy along the path of the wave.


Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium as a?

Longitudinal wave


The speed of a sound wave depend on what?

The medium in which it travels through


What travels through a medium as a disturbence?

A wave travels through a medium as a disturbance. Waves can be mechanical (such as sound waves) or electromagnetic (such as light waves) and they transfer energy without transporting matter.


Why does sound travel so fast?

Sound travels fast because it propagates through a medium, such as air, by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer energy. The speed at which sound travels depends on the density and elasticity of the medium - the denser and more elastic the medium, the faster sound can travel through it. In air at room temperature, sound travels at around 343 meters per second.
