What material does sound travel furthest through?
water
What distance does sound travel through a solid?
There is no limiting distance. But just like in any other medium, the sound generally spreads out and its amplitude decreases as it proceeds farther, so there's some distance past which you can't detect it any more, and to all appearances, you would say that the sound has not traveled any further than that. The distance depends on the substance, and on the amplitude of the sound at its source. (Sound waves that originate in thunder travel many miles through the ground. Sound waves that originate in earthquakes travel many hundreds, or thousands, of miles through rock.)
What are two examples that demostrate that sound takes time to travel?
sound travels at about 700 mphso large distance is an example
What kind of material carries sound the furthest?
l
How long do sounds take to travel?
To travel where? - That would depend on the distance you want it to travel. In air, sound moves at about 310 meters per second (depends on the temperature). This is about 1,236 kilometers per hour (or 768 mph).
What material does sound travel furthest through?
water
Should sound travel best on liquid or a gas?
If by best you mean fastest and/or furthest, than sound travels better through liquid. This is because the speed (and distance) of sound is dependent on the density of the medium it is traveling through. Since sound waves travel better with compression, they move faster in more solid mediums because of the mediums' tightly packed molecules.
How quickly a sound reaches your ear depends on?
It depends on the distance it has to travel.
Can sound travel through oxygen?
Sound can travel through fire as it does not directly affect sound. Sound travels in waves which can pass through solid objects but this limits the distance they can go.

What s the speed of sound in space?
Basically, sound doesn't travel in space, i.e., in a vacuum.Speed = distance/timeIf you make a sound over here in space, it would take an infinite time to arriveover there, since sound doesn't travel at all in space. The formula becomesSpeed = distance/∞and that's zero .
What distance is the sound intensity level 25dB?
That depends on the sound intesity level at the point of origen. Sound fall of with the square of the distance but the original intensity must be known.

What is the name of speed of sound?
The speed of sound is a Mach. 1 Mach for a particular medium is the distance that sound would travel through that medium in 1 second.
How can light and sound travel at a same time in televisions?
They don't really travel at the same speed, but, on television, the distance they travel is so short, that the difference between the speed of sound and the speed of light is almost non-existant.
