Think of a solid and there's your answer. Wood, metals, glass... Imagine putting your head on a solid, ear down, which materials would best transport the sound to you if someone tapped the same solid but a metre away? Those are the the solids that best transmit sound.

What medium can sound travel through?
Sound can be transmitted through all mediums (liquid, solid, gaseous) except vacuum.
Sound travles best in what medium?
the denser the medium, the better so a solid is the best.for example, a iron is 16* better than air.
Why sound do not have no constant physical properties?
Sound is a matter wave. It's the pressure wave within a matter medium and as such is not fundamental but depends entirely on the medium and the density there. To explain further, since sound is not an object, but is rather a wave transmitted through the vibrations of a medium (such as air or water), each sound's properties are determined not only by the medium through which it is transmitted, but also by the instrument that generated the sound. Further, even for sound waves generated by the same instrument and transmitted through the same medium, the density of the medium will affect the speed of the sound wave and its rate of degradation. For example, the same sound wave generated in the water on the ocean's surface would behave quite differently when generated at a depth of 200 meters beneath the surface, since as the depth increases, the density of the water increases.
Which medium would sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels fastest through a nonporous solid medium, such as steel.
What is description of sound?
vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid liquid or gas or a transmitted vibrations of any frequency
What medium can sound travel through?
Sound can be transmitted through all mediums (liquid, solid, gaseous) except vacuum.
What are some examples of sound waves that are liquid?
Sound waves are not liquid. Sound waves are merely vibrations transmitted across a medium. The medium can be any solid, liquid or gas. Some media are more suitable for transferring sound waves than others. For example, polystyrene foam is very poorly suited for sound transferrence, lending to its use as acoustic insulation.
Can a wave move through a substance called a medium?
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
Sound travles best in what medium?
the denser the medium, the better so a solid is the best.for example, a iron is 16* better than air.
What is speed of sound through a solid medium?
It depends on the medium.
What causes sound not to pass through milk?
It does; sound will be transmitted through any medium, be it solid, liquid or gas. The sound might be attenuated through long distances, but we don't generally have large volumes of milk in which to test.
Which medium sound travels faster?
solid
From which medium sound has highest speed?
SOLID

What can't transmitted sound?
transmission of soud requires a medium so sound cannot transmit in vacuum
In which medium does the sound travel the fastest?
sound travels the fastest through a solid perferably dimond.
What transmits a sound through solid?
Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.
