Sound travels more slowly through gases because the particles in gases are farther apart, leading to weaker intermolecular forces. This means that there is less medium for the sound waves to travel through, resulting in a slower speed. In solids and liquids, the particles are closer together, creating stronger intermolecular bonds that allow sound waves to propagate more quickly.

What are some things vibration can travel through?

Vibration can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, such as metal or wood, vibrations travel quickly due to the close arrangement of particles. In liquids and gases, such as water or air, vibrations travel more slowly but can still propagate.


What can s waves not travel through?

S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D


Can sound travel through solids and liquids?

Yes, sound can travel through solids and liquids. In solids, sound travels faster because the particles are closer together, allowing for quicker transmission of vibrations. In liquids, sound travels at a slower speed compared to solids, but still more efficiently than in gases.


Does air travel through solids liquids and gases?

Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.


How Sounds travel through solids liquids and gas?

sound is made up of vibrations, and so you hear sound as the vibrations travel through the particles of solids liquids and gases.


What waves travel through solids but not liquids?

seismic waves

Does a p wave travel through liquids and solids?

Yes


Sound waves travel most slowly through what?

Sound waves travel most slowly through gases because the particles in gases are more spread out compared to liquids and solids, which hinders the transfer of energy from one particle to another.


Can a p wave travel through gas?

Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.
