the speed of sound depends on the material through which it's passing. it is greater in solids than in liquids or gases because the molecules in a solid are closer togather than in a liquid or gas.
Material Speed m/s
Air(0°C) 330
Water 1400
Concrete 5000
Steel 6000
"compression-type" sound will travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because the solids are more difficult to compress than liquids, while liquids in turn are more difficult to compress than gases.

What is the relationship between the wavelength, frequency, and the speed of light in different media?
The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and the speed of light in different media is described by the equation: speed of light wavelength x frequency. In different media, the speed of light remains constant, but the wavelength and frequency may change. When light travels through different media, such as air, water, or glass, its wavelength and frequency can be altered, while the speed of light remains constant.
Can the speed of light be changed?
no. speed of light is always constant . as long as the light stays in the same medium. the speed is generally slightly different in different media.
What the media of speed of light?
The speed of light does not have any media.
How does wave speed change in different media?
Wave speed can change in different media due to variations in the medium's density, elastic properties, and temperature. In denser mediums, wave speed typically increases, while in less dense mediums, wave speed tends to decrease. In general, the speed of waves is fastest in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gases.
What will happen to light that goes through different media with different density?
Light will refract at the boundary between media with different densities, causing a change in its speed and direction. The amount of refraction depends on the difference in densities between the media.
Why do sounds travel at different speed?
Never heard that. All the sounds arround me from the double bass, to the trumpet and to the triangle, all musical sounds travel in air with the same speed of sound. That is c = 343 m/s at a temperature of 20°C.
What is it called when the speed and direction of light changes as it passes through different media?
its called refraction
What evidence is there that light travels at diff speeds?
Dispersion phenomenon establishes that light of different colours travel at different speed in a denser medium. Light traverses at different speed in different media is confirmed by the refraction phenomenon.
Refraction of a sound wave occurs when a wave passes at an angle from one medium into another in which the of the wave is different?
Refraction of a sound wave occurs when it passes through media with different densities, causing a change in its speed and direction. This change in speed leads to the bending of the sound wave at the interface between the two media.
Which property of a wave changes as the wave travels across the boundary between two different media?
it is speed
What is the speed of sound of a humming bee?
The speed of sound depends on what the sound is going through, not on what created the sound. If sounds from different sources had different speeds, then there could never be a band, orchestra, or choir.
What does kerosene shows deflection with light?
Because the speed of light in kerosene is different form that of other media.
