Do longitudinal waves travel through solids and liquids?
Confusing question. Try this - sound waves travel though solids and liquids (and gases), and electromagnetic ("radio") waves travel through a vacuum and gases well, les well through liquids such as water, and hardly at all though conducting solids such as metals.
What do sound waves travel the slowest solids liquids or gasses?
In fact, it travels faster, in a liquid, than in air.In fact, it travels faster, in a liquid, than in air.In fact, it travels faster, in a liquid, than in air.In fact, it travels faster, in a liquid, than in air.
Why does light travel more quickly through solids than through gasses?
Light generally doesn't travel faster through solids than through gases. Sound does, but not light.
Will a seismic wave go faster through a liquid or a solid?
Solid, because that kind of wave goes fastest through solids
Does sound travel faster through ice snow water or steam?
what does sound travel through fastest ice,snow,water,steam
Will waves travel faster through gases or liquids?
liquids i have done the experiment my self
Does heat move faster through solids or liquids and gasses?
no
Waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
sound
Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?
Yes, and faster through solids than liquids.
Through which material does sound travel faster?
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
What waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
Sound waves, being longitudinal in nature, travels faster in liquids and solids.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
Why does sound travel faster through solids than liquids or gases?
bounces of glass
'Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas?
Through solids fastest, then liquids, then a gas.
Does the sound travel through a soild?
Yes, sound actually travels faster through solids then liquids or gases.
Why does sound travel slower through liquids?
It doesn't, sound travels slowest in air then faster in liquids then solids. Sound traveling through steel in many times faster then through air, for example. Sound travels through vibrations, and the vibrations pass through molecules until they reach your ear. If the molecules are far away it takes longer to pass the vibrations, but if they are closer together they will travel faster. Because the molecules are packed closer together in a liquid the sound travels faster through it, and even faster through solids.
What material does sound travel through the fastest?
There are too many 'materials' to list but generally, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. In other words, the denser the material, the faster sound travels.
