Can sound travel through all materials?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves. They cause particles to vibrate parallel to the direction of wave travel. The vibrations can travel through solids, liquids or gases. The speed of sound depends on the medium through which it is travelling.
What can sound not be transmitted through?
Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles in media such as air, water or metal. So it stands to reason that they cannot travel through empty space, where there are no atoms or molecules to vibrate.
What materials can sound pass through?
Sound needs something to travel through; matter, air, liquid, solid wood. 5. Sound travels through air at 1,120 feet (340 meters) per second.
Can sound travel through gases yes or no?
Sound travels more quickly through solids than through liquids and gases because the molecules of a solid are closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations (energy) faster. Sound travels most slowly through gases because the molecules of a gas are farthest apart.
Can we touch sound?
Well, sound is vibration, and vibration is tactile. You can feel sound by touch. Put your hand on a piano while someone is playing. You can feel the sound vibrations under your fingers.
