Confusing question.

Try this - sound waves travel though solids and liquids (and gases), and electromagnetic ("radio") waves travel through a vacuum and gases well, les well through liquids such as water, and hardly at all though conducting solids such as metals.

Yap. But the speed of travel varies on the medium. It will have some delay depending on what means of transportation it uses. Airplane is more faster than a submarine. Somehow it wont pass to a lead?

What can s waves not travel through?

S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D


Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?

Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.


What waves can travel through solids and liquids?

Electro-magnetic waves of many kinds travel through certain solids and liquids: radio waves (these are waves of relatively low frequency/high wavelength) can travel through almost anything. Microwaves - shorter wavelength, higher frequency - need particular materials to stop them. Gamma rays (a form of radioactivity) can pass through many solids, and need a very thick layer of a dense metal such as LEAD to stop them. Visible light, which is also a form of electro-magnetic radiation - can (obviously) travel through some liquids and solids; those which are to some extent transparent.Sound waves - which are pressure waves - can also travel through solids and liquids.Generally, the answer to the question varies according to which solids and liquids are being considered; and each of these will permit a different range of waves to pass through them.


Dose a primary wave travel through soilids and liquids?

Primary waves can travel through liquid and solids at certain speeds but some quakes can not travel through water.


P waves can travel through solids and liquids but S waves can only travel through solids P waves travel faster through rock than through liquid This fact is used to help determine the composition yo?

...the composition of the Earth.

What waves travel faster through liquids and solids?

Sound waves, being longitudinal in nature, travels faster in liquids and solids.


Will a primary wave travel through liquid?

Yes. Primary waves are compression or longitudinal waves can pass through solids, liquids and gasses.


Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?

Primary seismic waves (P-waves) can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Secondary seismic waves (S-waves) can only travel through solids. This is because S-waves require a medium with shear strength, which is lacking in liquids and gases.


How does sound waves travel?

What can s waves not travel through?

S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D


Is sound transverse or longitudinal?

Sound is a longitudinal wave, meaning that the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. This allows sound waves to travel through solids, liquids, and gases by compressing and expanding the medium they are traveling through.


Are primary waves transverse or longitudinal?

Primary waves, also known as P-waves, are longitudinal seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth. They are the fastest seismic waves and are capable of traveling through both solids and liquids.


Can sound travel through solids and liquids?

Yes, sound can travel through solids and liquids. In solids, sound travels faster because the particles are closer together, allowing for quicker transmission of vibrations. In liquids, sound travels at a slower speed compared to solids, but still more efficiently than in gases.


Does air travel through solids liquids and gases?

Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.


How Sounds travel through solids liquids and gas?

sound is made up of vibrations, and so you hear sound as the vibrations travel through the particles of solids liquids and gases.
