Sound travels faster in water than it does in air. It travels even faster in metals.

Do sounds travel faster throw liquid?

no sound travels faster through solids.


Do louder sounds travel faster than quieter sounds?

No, louder sounds do not travel faster than quieter sounds. Sound travels at the same speed regardless of its volume.


What substance will a sound wave travel fastest through?

Sound waves travel fastest through solid materials because the particles are closely packed together, allowing for faster transmission of vibrations. In general, the denser the material, the faster the speed of sound.


Do sounds travel through different materials?

Yes, sounds can travel through different materials. The speed of sound and the way it travels may vary depending on the material, with some materials allowing sound to travel faster or more effectively than others. For example, sound travels faster through solids than gases due to the closer arrangement of particles.


Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?

Sound can travel faster through space because space is a vacuum where there are no particles to slow down the transmission of sound waves. In a room at room temperature, sound travels through the molecules of the medium, such as air, which can slow down its speed.


What is faster a sound wave of 150Hz or a wave of 700Hz?

The sound at 700 Hz vibrates faster, but both sounds travel from place to place through air at the same speed.


Does sound travel faster though steel than it does through water?

Yes it does. In general, sound travels through a medium that has a higher density.


Do loud sounds travel faster then soft sounds?

No, the speed of sound in a medium is constant regardless of the volume of the sound. However, loud sounds may appear to travel faster because they can be heard from a greater distance due to their higher intensity.


Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?

Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.


What specific solid does sound travel through the fastest?

The denser the faster. ie: it will travel faster through quartz than sandstone.


Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?

sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles


When sound and light travel in different materials what changes?

Light travels through a non-mechanical wave, meaning lightwaves don't travel through anything so it never slows or speeds up. The denser the object's molecules are, the faster sounds go through it.
