Sound travels faster through metal than through air. Sound waves can propagate faster through denser materials because the atoms are much closer to each other. The clarity of the sound is also maintained better in dense materials because the likelihood of an atom not transmitting it's "vibration" to another atom is much smaller with so many atoms packed together.
In metals. Sound travels much faster through metals than air. This is due to the molecular structure of air vs. metal. Air is less dense than metals therefor does not sustain speed for as long as in a more dense structure such as a metal. There are 2 vibrations that sound travels: longitudinal (pressure wave) and transverse (shear wave) The only type of wave present in air is a longitudinal wave whereas metals support both.
*The average speed of sound through dry air is: 1,500 m/s
*The average speed of sound through metals is: 5,000 m/s
The speed of sound becomes irrelevant once the sound has passed from the microphone head to the wire. That is because when sound waves hit the diaphragm part of a microphone, they are converted into electricity by other components inside the mic. It is this electrical signal that travels in the wire. Since electricity travels much faster than sound, It is quite possible to speak in a microphone in New York City, and have a speaker reconvert the audio signal into audible sound waves in Los Angeles almost instantaneously. I wish to point out that both sound waves and electricity are vibrations. what a microphone and speaker do is convert the vibrations from one type or frequency to another. everything in the universe is vibration.
copper because sound travels faster through metal than through air
water because the molecules are more spread out than in metal thay are so compressed
sound travels faster in metal
it travles faster in a solid
there is no specific wave they all travel faster through water but scientifically speaking sesmic waves do i belive also The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air. The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water. The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.
Sound can travel better through denser objects, so since stone is denser than water and air, sound can travel faster through it.
The speed of sound is determined by what it travels through. It travels faster through dense mediums, such as liquids, and doesn't travel at all in space, because there are no molecules to move sound waves along.
I would say the water is quicker Sound travels fastest through more dense materials. Oil is more is less dense than water, meaning that sound travels faster through water than oil.
Sound moves through a solid faster than anything. In order it goes, solid, liquid, and gas. So metal is faster than water is faster than air.
metal since it is solid
Sound travels faster in water thanin air.
They are denser. Molecules are closer together. Vibrations move faster.
water
it travels faster in water
Water.
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
sound travels faster through water than air.
Sound waves need a medium (such as air, water, metal and other materials) to travel through. Sound waves travel by slightly displacing the atoms from their original position as it moves. With empty space (no atoms) the sound waves cannot travel at all. In general, sound travels slower in gasses, then faster in liquids, and even faster in solids. Each substance is different, though.
Sound doesn't travel in heat. It travels in a physical medium.
