3. How do sound propagate or spread?
It propagate through a….
…..Solids, Liquids, and Gases…
are…..metals, woods, plastics,
glasses
are….. water (fresh or salt),
milk, mercury, oil, alcohol
are…. Air, oxygen, carbon
dioxide, helium, hydrogen
4. …..need a
medium to propagate.
… travels
parallel to the motion of particles.
5.
6. • Sound travels through a medium,
• There are alternating regions,
– Compressions are high pressure regions where
the molecules are crowded together.
– Rarefactions are low pressure regions where
the molecules are more spread out.
7. • Sound travels through a medium,
• In solids, sound travels fastest-
the molecules are very close to
each other.
• In liquids, sound travels faster
than gas because the molecules
are close to each other.
• In gases, sound travels slowest
because the molecules are far
