Sound is like vibrations or little "shakes" that move through things.
Think of hitting a drum — it shakes, and those shakes move through the air to your ears!
🚀 Now, let’s see how sound moves in different stuff:
1. Solid (like metal or wood):
Sound travels very fast! 🏃💨
Solids are like tightly packed friends holding hands. When one shakes, all others shake quickly.
Example: If you tap one end of a metal rod, the other end “feels” it super fast!
2. Liquid (like water):
Sound moves medium speed. 🐟💧
The friends (water particles) are a bit apart, so it takes more time to pass the shake.
Example: Whales can hear each other from very far away in the ocean!
3. Gas (like air):
Sound travels slowest here. 🐢🌬️
Air particles are like lazy friends standing far apart. So, the shake takes time to go from one to the other.
Example: We hear people talking in air — it works, but it’s slower than in solids.
⚠️ Important:
No air = no sound. That’s why sound doesn’t travel in space! 🪐🚫🔊
Why does sound travel faster in warm air than in cold air?
How do humans perceive sound direction and distance?
What causes echoes, and why do some places have better acoustics than others?
How does ultrasound technology work in medical imaging?
Can sound waves be used as a source of energy?
