What type of waves travel through liquids fastest?
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.
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
Sound wave travel the fastest with what material?
Sound travels fastest through iron and sound travels slowest through air!
Would sound waves travel faster in water or steel?
I am not sure about distance, I think it may be further but NOT SURE, But, I do know it travels WAY faster in steel, something like 10 times faster.
Does sound travel fastest in metal?
sound travels faster in solids. sound travels faster in metals like steel
In what medium does sound travel fastest - solid -liquid - or gas?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.
Are there planes that can travel faster than the speed of sound?
yes, the fastest plane in the world, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, can reach speeds of up to three times the speed of sound.
Is water the material that sound travels fastest in?
no. the sound travells faster as the medium is denser. according to that fact, the sound will travel fastest in the steel.
Through which material does sound travel faster?
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
When did the first plane travel faster then sound?

What specific solid does sound travel through the fastest?
The denser the faster. ie: it will travel faster through quartz than sandstone.
Which medium does sound travel fastest in?
Sound travels faster in solids than it does in liquids. thus, sound travels faster in liquids than it does in solids
Sound travels fastest in which medium and why?
sound would travel faster in a solid because it is a denser object for the soundwaves to travel through
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.
Does sound travel faster through ice snow water or steam?
what does sound travel through fastest ice,snow,water,steam
What name is given to planes which travel faster than sound?
Supersonic plane
