As sound waves travel from air to a solid, they would typically become faster and more intense due to the higher density and speed of sound in solids compared to air. This transition can cause some of the sound wave to reflect back into the original medium and some to transmit into the solid, leading to changes in the wave's amplitude and frequency.

When traveling from air to a solid what would you expect a sound wave to do?

When traveling from air to a solid, a sound wave would typically increase in speed and intensity. This is because sound waves travel faster and more efficiently in solids compared to air due to the higher density and closer arrangement of particles. Sound waves may also experience reflection and refraction at the boundary between air and solid materials.


Would you expect a spaceship traveling to the moon to produce a shock wave?

No, a spaceship traveling to the moon would not produce a shock wave in the traditional sense. Shock waves are typically generated by objects traveling faster than the speed of sound in a medium, and in the vacuum of space, there is no medium for the shock wave to propagate through.


Example of solid medium in which a sound can be transmitted?

Think of a solid and there's your answer. Wood, metals, glass... Imagine putting your head on a solid, ear down, which materials would best transport the sound to you if someone tapped the same solid but a metre away? Those are the the solids that best transmit sound.


What scenario would result in a drop in the pitch being observed?

A drop in pitch is observed when the frequency of the sound wave decreases. This can happen when an object producing sound moves away from the listener (Doppler effect), or when there are changes in the medium through which the sound is traveling, such as in the case of a sound wave traveling from air to water.


Wavelength of a sound wave decreases so that it has a higher frequency Which characteristics would you also expect to change?

If the wavelength of a sound wave decreases, you would also expect the speed of the wave to remain constant (assuming it's in the same medium). Additionally, the energy and pitch of the sound will increase as the frequency increases.

Why does sound travell faster under water than under ground?

Actually, sound travels slower under water than underground. Sound is a vibration in molecules that we perceive as noise. Water's molecules are rather loose compared to a solid's molecules, so it would travel slower underwater compared to traveling underground.
