Does sound travel better through air or through solid?

Solid


Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?

Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air


Will sound travel faster in solid or air?

Much faster in a solid


Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?

sound travels faster through a solid than through air


Sound can travel through what?

nothingA sound wave is a mechanical wave that can travel through any gasses, liquids, or solids. sound waves can not travel in outer space because there is nothing for the wave to travel through.Sound is vibration. Thus, it travels through anything that has mass. While it can travel through the air, the travel time and the clarity get better and better as the object gets denser and denser. Seeing as space has no mass, sound cannot travel in space.


What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?

Sound does not travel in a vacuum. It needs a medium in which to travel (unlike light) and so sound cannot travel in a vacuum. However, in a solid sound travels faster than in air.


Can sound waves travel without a meduim?

No. Sound waves must travel through a medium, such as air, liquid, or a solid.


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


Sound waves travel only in the air?

No. They travel through water and solid objects also.


Does sound travel faster through a tree or air?

Air sound travels slower when going through a solid object


Does sound travel faster throgh solid than air?

It travels faster through a solid then air for some odd reason............


Do sound waves travel best through air?

Surprisingly no. Air is a gas which means that the molecules are far apart. Even a liquid is better that air for sound to travel through because the molecules are closer together. But, a solid is the best for a sound to travel through. This is because the molecules are very close together so the vibration is transferred much quicker though the material.
