Sound waves travel faster through denser media, like solids, because the molecules are closer together, making it easier to pass the sound from molecule to molecule. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense media, and they travel fastest through a vacuum.

Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?
Yes, and faster through solids than liquids.
Why does sound travel faster through solids than liquids or gases?
bounces of glass
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
Why does sound travel faster in a soild?
Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies
Can sound travel through solids and liquids?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums including solids and liquids. However, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
sound
Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?

What waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
Sound waves, being longitudinal in nature, travels faster in liquids and solids.
Why does sound travel faster through solids than liquids or gases?
bounces of glass
Does the sound travel through a soild?
Yes, sound actually travels faster through solids then liquids or gases.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
Why does sound travel faster in a soild?
Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies
What waves travel through solids liquids and gases?
Seismic waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Can sound travel through solids and liquids?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums including solids and liquids. However, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
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
'Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas?
Through solids fastest, then liquids, then a gas.
What can s waves not travel through?
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
