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.


What type of material would transmit sound the best air water or wood why?

Water would transmit sound the best, as it is denser than air and allows sound waves to travel more efficiently. Wood would be better than air due to its density and solid structure, but still not as effective as water in transmitting sound.


Which medium would sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels fastest through a nonporous solid medium, such as steel.


What would be the best transmission of sound?

The best transmission of sound is through a medium that allows for minimal distortion and loss, such as air or water. In air, sound waves travel as pressure variations, while in water, sound waves travel faster and more efficiently due to its higher density. Solid materials like metal can also transmit sound well due to their rigid structure.


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.


Do the sounds on earth sound louder on the moon?

No, sounds on the Moon would actually be quieter than on Earth due to the lack of atmosphere to carry sound waves. Sound waves need a medium to travel through, and the thin lunar atmosphere cannot carry sound very efficiently.


What would not travel thruogh a room with no air is it sound or light?

sound


Where does sound travel faster wood or brick?

You mean which one does it travel faster in? It would be a brick because of how tightly packed the molecules in the brick are together. Wood, which is a lot more fragile that brick, does not allow sound to travel through it as fast.


How is sound cannot travel in a wavy way?

Sound can't travel in wavy waves because if it did, the sound would be messed up and dodgy.


Would sound travel faster through air or steal?

Sound travels faster through steel than through air because steel is a denser material, allowing sound waves to propagate more efficiently. Steel also has a higher elasticity, which helps in faster transmission of sound waves compared to air.


States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?

Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.


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

PLATO USERS! They would not travel, because here is no medium present.
