Description:
Sound can propagate in solid, liquid or gaseous bodies.
Glass, metal and wood, for example, are good conductors of sound.
Felt, cotton wool and polystyrene, for example, are bad conductors of sound.
Information and ideas:
To be done together with students in class or in group work.
Relevant for teaching:
Sound/acoustics: parameters
Vibrations and waves
