Does sound travel faster than air or water?
Water. Sound is a vibration of molecules, and in air, the molecules are further apart than in water, so the sound wave needs less energy to move each particle away from the source.
A sound wave will travel most quickly in what?
A sound wave can travel mor quickly in water than in air
Why doesn't sound travel best by water?
Density of water affects the sound propagation. Density of air is lighter than of water.. !!
Does sound travel better though air or water?
Sound travels better and faster in air because air has a lower density than water and the sound vibrations can travel faster through them and with more accuracy, whereas in water the vibrations slowly die out and do not travel well because the density of the water will likely muffle and obstruct the sound waves. sound travels better in air than in water as sound travels in vibrations.. it travels faster in water than in air but it travels better in air.....
Do sound waves travel faster through wood or water?
Yes i guess sound waves travel faster through wood than in water. Because molecules are tightly packed in wood(solid) than in water(liquid).

Could your drum be adjusted to make the sound waves go further?
Yes. Some sound frequencies travel further than others.
A sound wave will travel most quickly in what?

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.
What does sound travel faster through than water?
aluminum
Why does sound travel faster in water than on air?
because water is denser than air. sound travelles faster in dinser places.

Why does sound travel faster through wood than it does through water?
Density of water is greater than air.
Would sound travel faster through water or through air?
sound travels faster through water than air.
