sound moves faster though stone than water because stones particles are closer together and vibrate faster.
+++ We can add that in general, the denser the material the higher the speed of sound through it.

Why is the speed of sound greater for stone than water or air?
Sound can travel better through denser objects, so since stone is denser than water and air, sound can travel faster through it.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
Do sound waves travel faster in water or in cooking oil?
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.
Does sound move through a solid slowly?
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.
Sound travels faster through what?
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.
Why does sound travel faster in stone and water than in air?
because water has currents and the sound can go straght through stone
Why is the speed of sound greater for stone than water or air?
Sound can travel better through denser objects, so since stone is denser than water and air, sound can travel faster through it.
Would sound travel faster through water or through air?
sound travels faster through water than air.
Does sound travels faster through water or air?
Sound waves travel faster through denser mediums, and water is denser than air, so sound travels faster through water than air
Does sound travel faster through wood or water?
Water.
How a medium affect sound?
Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
What will travel faster through water than through air?
Sound
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
What does sound travel the fastest in air or water?
faster in water than in air <><><> Agree. The denser the material, the faster sound travels through it.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
Does the sound travel faster in steel then water because it vibrate faster?
No. The rate of the vibrations is the 'frequency' of the sound, and that doesn't change, no matter what kind of material the sound is traveling through. Sound travels faster through steel than through water or air because the steel is more dense.
