Sound Propagation and Mediums

The video explains how sound, a form of vibration, travels through different media: solids, liquids, and gases. It provides practical examples, such as knocking on a table or using a toy telephone, to demonstrate sound propagation through solids. It also shows how sound travels through liquids using a bell in water and through gases with examples like a ringing phone or chirping birds. The video concludes that sound can travel through all three media.
