This will not answer the question; however sound does not travel thru solids, as sound waves travel only thru gases or air.
A sound wave will travel most quickly in what?
A sound wave can travel mor quickly in water than in air
Why does air travel faster in water?
As opposed to travelling in what? But if you mean sound then its because sound is - technically speaking - a vibration of the molecules. It is slower in air because the molecules are farther away from each other, and thus the molecules take much longer to interact. In water, the molecules are closer together, and therefore pass on the vibration quicker. This also relates to why water takes sound much farther as opposed to air. :)
