If you haven't had your teeth cleaned in a long time or have had a lot of problems with your teeth, you may have to get a procedure called scaling and root planing, which involves cleaning the root surfaces of your teeth, which is more expensive than a routine visit.
The key background to this question is the nature of sound waves and light waves. Youâre right in that sound waves are a vibration traveling through an object, including condensed things like solids and liquids. In solids, those waves can consist of either alternating compressed and stretched regions, or regions wiggling sideways, compared to the direction the wave is traveling.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves which require a medium, such as air or water, in which to travel. Sound does not travel in a vacuum. The material properties of the medium determine the speed with which the sound wave travels through that medium.For example, the speed of sound in water is approximately 1500m/s and through a diamond the speed can reach 12,000m/s!he material properties of the medium determine the speed with which the sound wave travels through that medium.
