Speed of sound (M/Sec):
Sea water at 0C: 1450
Sea water at 20C: 1522
Sea water at 30C: 1545
Butyl rubber/carbon (100/40): 1600
Neoprene: 1510
Neoprene/carbon (100/60): 1690
Rubber (natural): 1600
So, on the whole, sound is slightly faster in rubber

∙ 14y agoThe order is as follows with the fastest first:
- Rock (fastest)
- Water
- Air
- Space (vacuum so sound cannot propagate).

What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?
light in a vacuum
Sound wave travel the fastest with what material?
Sound travels fastest through iron and sound travels slowest through air!
The speed of sound is fastest in what type of matter?
Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel
When does Sound travels fastest through matter when it is warm cold or not moving?
It depends... It's well-known that sound travels faster through denser (cold air has higher density then warm) media. So if you have a situation when sound travels through either cold or warm air. The speed of the sound will higher in the cold air. From other side if you have air which of course possesses certain temperature which is moving the sound speed will depend on both temperature and the vector of velocity (direction where it is blowing and and value how much it's blowing).
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.
Which travels fastest sound water air light?
Light travels faster.
Which travels fastest sound air light or water?
Light travels faster.
Can sound travel faster in air?
sound travels so fast because it feels like it
Sound travels fastest in what?
sound travels fastest in solid (about 8x faster)
Which the materials sound travels fastest?
Sound travels fastest through nonporous solids such as iron.
Does sound travel slower through air solids or liquids?
Sounds travels slowest in air and fastest in solids. Generally, sound travels faster through materials of higher densities.
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.
What material would sound travel faster air iron or water?
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
Sound waves travels faster through what state of matter?
They travel fastest through air.
Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?
light in a vacuum
Which travels sound or light?
Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.
