sound
Due to the fact that sound does not travel in a vacuum, I would say that it is definitely not in a vacuum. But between oxygen and a liquid comes down to how sound is propagated. Sound is propagated by particles transferring energy by collision (which is why it cannot travel through a vacuum, no particles). Therefore, more particles you have in a given volume, the more likely collisions will happen, thus propagating the wave faster. Thus, sound would travel faster in a liquid due to its higher density.
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
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.
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
Density of water is greater than air.
Yes it does. In general, sound travels through a medium that has a higher density.
Steel, The greater the density, the faster sound travels through it.
Sound DOES travel faster in solids than in gases. The higher the density of the medium, the faster the sound travels.
Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.
Sound can travel, more or less, through any matter, but not at all through a vacuum. The main factors that affect the speed of sound are as follows: Temperature: Hotter materials allow sound to travel faster Density: Sound travels faster in denser materials Elasticity: This means the ability for the molecules of a material to bounce back to their original positions quicky. The more elastic a material, the faster sound can travel through it.
sound travels faster through steel
The higher the density of the material, the faster the sound waves penetrate through it. This is because it requires less time for the vibration of the sound wave to interact with the molecules of the material.By the way, sound is even faster going through metal, again for the same reason - density.
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
The speed of sound depends on the density of the medium the waves are traveling through. The denser the medium the higher the speed. For example, sound travels faster through water than it does through air.
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
