sound waves travel through best through solids because they are more dense, then liquids, and finally they travel the worst through gasses.

What media can mechanical waves travel through?
solids, liquids, gasses
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
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.
Can sound travel through solids and liquids?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums including solids and liquids. However, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
What does heat not travel very well through?
gasses
What does P waves travel through?
Gasses, solids and liquids :P
What media can mechanical waves travel through?
solids, liquids, gasses
What all can sound Travel through?
Anything with mass; solids, liquids, gasses.
Which seimic wave goes though liquids?
pressure. waves also known as p waves travel through solids liquids and gasses
What kind of compressional waves travel through gasses liquids and solids?
Sound waves are an excellent example
What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
Will a primary wave travel through liquid?
Yes. Primary waves are compression or longitudinal waves can pass through solids, liquids and gasses.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
Which are always the first waves of an earthquake to be detected?
P waves (primary waves) - the fastest, and can travel through solids liquids or gasses
How do P waves behave when traveling through a solid n liquid?
P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gasses.
