3. How does sound travel through different mediums, such as gasses, liquids, and solids?
Sound travels through different mediums by propagating as mechanical waves. In gases, such
as air, sound waves cause the particles in the medium to vibrate in a back-and-forth motion. In
liquids, sound waves pass through density variations of the liquid particles, transmitting the
vibrations. In solids, sound waves travel through the elastic properties of the material, with the
particles vibrating in a tightly connected lattice structure. The speed of sound varies depending
on the medium, as sound travels faster through solids compared to liquids and gases due to the
differences in particle arrangement and interaction.
