What else can I help you with?
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound travels better through a string because the particles in a solid are more closely packed and can transmit vibrations more efficiently than in air. In air, the particles are more spread out, leading to greater energy loss and lower transmission of sound.
Does sound travel better through air or through solid?
Sound travels better and faster through solids than through air. In solids, the molecules are closer together, enabling sound waves to propagate more efficiently. Conversely, in air, the molecules are more spread out, causing sound waves to travel more slowly and with more interference.
Why we can hear sounds better in air then we can underwater.?
Sound travels faster in water than in air, but water is denser and less compressible which results in higher sound attenuation. This means sound waves weaken and lose energy more quickly in water, making them harder to hear compared to in air. Additionally, our ears are specifically adapted to detect sound in air, which further contributes to hearing sounds better in air than underwater.
What is the correct descending order for the media through which sound travels with the most efficient conductor of sound listed first?
Solid (such as metal) Liquid (such as water) Gas (such as air)
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.

What waves are in sound waves?
Sound waves in water are essentially the same as sound waves in air; they consist of a sequence of slight compressions of the water between non-compressed water, much as sound in air consists of denser sections of air in between less dense air. The main difference is that sound travels faster in water. The denser medium conducts sound better.
Why does sound travel best in a solid?
sound is the vibration of air particles. but think about how far all the air particles are spaced from each other. now think of how close the solid's particles are spaced to one another. more particles will vibrate and so sound travels better

Why can you hear better by putting your ear against a door?
When you put your ear against a door, you enhance your ability to hear sounds because the door transmits vibrations more effectively than air. The solid material of the door conducts sound waves directly to your ear, allowing you to pick up low-frequency sounds that may not be as audible through the air. This method of listening takes advantage of the denser medium, which facilitates better sound transmission.
Will sound travel faster in solid or air?
Much faster in a solid
How does a sound travel through?
Sound, which is mechanical energy, travels through a solid by setting up a mechanical compression wave in that solid. When the compression wave of the sound in air strikes the solid, it compresses the solid. It isn't much, but the energy delivered by the air is transferred into the solid. Waves of compression and rarefaction move through the solid as they did in air, but move much faster in a solid.
The speed of sound in a solid is what than the speed of sound in air?
greater
Why is the speed of sound in air faster than the speed of sound in solid?
its not
Can you hear under water?
Hearing under water is easy, although speaking under water is difficult. Water conducts sound quite well, better than air does, in fact.
