Particles in gases are very far apart and there is a negligible amount of attraction force between these particles. Gas molecules have to move a long way before they interact and collide with other molecules. Sound energy slows down and does not move face when the molecules are not in contact with each other.
What else can I help you with?
Which among materials does sound travel slowest 1 air 2 glass 3 water 4 wood?
Air because sound travels fastest in solids, medium in liquids, and slow in gases
How long would it take for a sound impulse to travel through an aluminum rod 150 meters long?
0.029
How long does it take for sound to travel a mile on the moon?
Since the moon has little to no atmosphere, sound cannot move as it has no medium to travel thru.
How fast does sound travel through glass in meters per second?
There are different types of glass so there is not a single answer. The speed of sound is approx 4,000 metres per second ( range 3500 - 4500 ms^-1).
Is it Mach or times the speed of sound?
Mach is the speed of an object expressed as a multiple of the speed of sound in the same medium. Thus, an object travelling at 686 metres per second through air, at sea level, is travelling at Mach 2 because sound would travel through it at 343 m/s. However, it the object was travelling under water at the same speed then it would be travelling at approx Mach 0.46 since sound travels at 1484 m/s through water.
Can sound travel through rocks?
Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
Can sound waves travel through rocks?
Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
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.
Why does sound travel more slowly through gases than it does through solids or liquids?
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.
Can sound travel through gases?
no
Through what are things can sound waves travel?
Sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
What material can sound energy travel through slowly?
Sound energy can travel through solids more slowly than through liquids and gases. This is because the particles in solids are more closely packed, causing sound waves to propagate at a slower speed due to increased interaction between particles. Examples of materials that sound energy can travel through slowly include metals, wood, and concrete.
Which states matter can sound travel?
Sound can travel through any state of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. The speed of sound can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through, with sound traveling fastest through solids and slowest through gases.
What two things does sound travel through?
Sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. It requires a medium to propagate, meaning it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Does sound travel best through solidsliquidsor gases?
liquids.
What items do sound waves travel through most slowly?
Sound waves travel slowest through gases, such as air. This is because gas molecules are spread far apart, creating more opportunity for collisions and interactions that slow down the wave.
