What is a better carrier if sound?
Air is a better carrier of sound than vacuum. In air, sound waves can travel because air molecules can vibrate and transfer energy. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound waves, so sound cannot travel.
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.
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.
Which would transmit sounds better a wire or air?
A wire would transmit sounds better than air because it is a solid medium that allows sound waves to travel more efficiently and with less loss of energy. Air, being a gas, is less dense and can absorb and scatter the sound waves, leading to weaker transmission.
Why density of sound is more in moist air than in dry air?
I think you may have mixed your answer up with your question. Sound doesn't have a density, but air density affects the speed of sound. Moist air has a higher mass/density than dry air. Speed of sound is higher due to denser air.
Is the string a better carrier of sound than air?
Yes, solids transmit sound better than gases because their molecules are closer together.

Will cold air particles transmit sound at a higher speed than hot air particles?
Yes, cold air particles transmit sound faster than hot air particles due to the higher density and lower molecular vibration in cold air, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through the medium.
Does air at high pressure transmit sound faster than air at low pressure?
No. The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).
Why is space totally quite?
There is no air to transmit the sound

Do all frequencies of sound travel faster in warm air than in cool air?
No, the speed of sound in a medium like air is determined by the temperature of the air, not the frequency of the sound. In general, sound travels faster in warm air than in cool air because the molecules in warm air move faster and can transmit sound waves more quickly.
Can sounds travel through water?
Yes, Sound can go through water. And it is also pretty amzing too!!! Sound can travel through water quite well, even more efficiently than through air. This is because sound is a wave that requires a medium for its transmission, and the higher the density of the medium, the greater the efficiency of transmission. "Efficiency" for this discussion means that the overall amplitude (strength) of the sound is not diminished. However, it should also be understood that sound, as we know it, is comprised of many different frequencies, some higher and some lower. Not all of these will retain their same relative amplitude as they transmit through different materials. So the sound you hear underwater will be different than the sound we are accustomed to hearing through the air. Water is denser than air, so it will transmit sound more efficiently than air. Also understand that sound traveling through air loses much of its original energy (loudness) because air is a relatively poor medium through which to transmit sound. Likewise, since water is so much better, the same sound will seem louder under water. But it is not louder. It just retains more of its original energy. This is why tapping your fingers on an aquarium is not such a good idea. It creates a sound in the water that is much louder than the tapping sound you hear through the air, and which causes great stress to the aquarium fish. Sound will not transmit through a vacuum.
How does sound waves work to transmit information through the air?
Sound waves transmit information through the air by vibrating molecules in the air, creating changes in air pressure that travel as waves. These waves are detected by our ears and converted into electrical signals that our brain interprets as sound.
